Whoah… It’s clear to tell that everyone who was involved in the making of “Mother” is remarkably skilled at what they do as the musical opulence spilling from Zoe’s single is so awe-inspiring.
Lyrically the track treads deep waters as she engages in a journey to know more about her Jamaican UK roots through initiate questions of identity and history – as if she is actually having a dialogue with her elders. As someone that is usually more drawn to production first, it was the dainty arrangement of the drums that initially blew me away. And just when I thought it couldn’t get better… Midway the track enters a metamorphosis guide by airy pads and distant shakers to lead us into a dreamy section adorned with emotive harmonies and shimmering synth tones.
