It wasn’t long ago I was waxing lyrical about a tune called ‘Bleed‘. Courtesy of Winnipeg-based singer/songwriter Stephanie Westdal, the deeply personal track wonderfully juxtaposed deep-seated lyricism with a smooth and intoxicating soundscape. I’ve been patiently waiting to hear from Stephanie ever since, and this is where ‘Gonna Love You’ comes into the picture. A song about the intimate ways people move through space, the artist’s latest offering is another velvety, polished, and bewitching one.
Highly immersive and entrancing, ‘Gonna Love You’ is a slow and downtempo little number that allows Stephanie’s silvery and seductive vocals to take front and centre. It’s a spellbinding performance to be perfectly honest with you, as she sucks you into her ethereal and otherworldy sonic landscape.
“‘Gonna Love You’ is about trusting a playful power dynamic with a partner in a safe space,” says Westdal on the meaning behind the tune. “I choose to trust my partner because I feel safe with them and trust their actions and intentions”.
Power, lust, desire, Stephanie Westdal’s new single has something for everyone in it. She’s an artist we at Mesmerized are beginning to fall rather hard for, and can’t wait to hear what she gets up to next!
