Like a ray of sunshine, ‘You’ll Be OK (For Vanessa)’ hits the listener with soulful positivity, both in the lyrical and sonic content. Introduced by uplifting and charming acoustic guitars, the track soon join forces with lead singer’s Paul Hale evocative vocals, driving the track forward with their near-perfect pitch. A minimal yet complete song, thriving on the force of its motivation and eagerness.
‘You’ll Be OK’, The Landed declared. In troubled times like ours, those are incredibly strong words, which we are confident will resonate with many people out there. Written for Vanessa, a friend whose partner recently passed away, the song seeks to deliver a message of hope and reckoning. Of course, everyone will sympathise with the lyrics in different ways, applying them to their own situation. But as a whole, the Colchester-based band is speaking to everyone out the who feels like their foundations are shaking.
Active in the music scene for more than a decade, The Landed have steadily walked mellow rock territories, preferring a melodious approach over brute force and distortion. ‘You’ll Be Ok’ is perhaps different from what the group would usually write, serving as a ‘one shot’ in their extensive catalogue.
