Isabel van Gelder Shares New Single ‘Pieces’
Amsterdam-based singer and songwriter Isabel van Gelder shares her brand new single Pieces, an emotionally-charged pop gem out now via Excited About Music.
I am really enjoying the tone of her voice and how powerful, yet vulnerable her vocal delivery is, exuding raw emotion that effortlessly connects us to her storytelling. Pieces is a song about finding herself missing someone, especially during moments alone. It's a song about feeling stuck and isolated in an emotion and trying to find some sort of comfort. I am loving her dynamic delivery and ethereal-like harmonies which glide seamlessly over the infectious pop melodies that feature intricate guitar riffs beautifully paired with emotive piano keys, lush strings and steady drums that create an overall warm, intimate atmosphere.
Speaking about the song, Isabel van Gelder said,
When I was writing Pieces I wasn’t going through a breakup, or freshly heartbroken, it was actually quite a while after I’d broken up with someone. Somehow I still found myself missing this person at moments when I was alone, which could be so incredibly frustrating. They say time heals all wounds, but that’s not always what it feels like. This song to me is really about feeling isolated and stuck in an emotion or feeling that seems to be going on forever. It’s a song I wrote to comfort myself, and hopefully others.
