スコットランド/ダンディー出身で現在はグラスゴーを拠点に活動するアーティスト Joshua Grayによる名義 Jeshuaが、5/20にElectric Honey Recordsからリリースしたニューシングル 'Esther'を公開！
2021年にグラスゴーの定番レーベル Electric Honey (Belle and Sebastian, Biffy Clyro, Snow Patrol)から発表したデビューアルバム『Unreliable Narrator』に収録された曲のリワーク。今回のバージョンが断然好みです。
“‘Esther’ isn't the happiest song in the world, but it does have uplifting moments and the live drums definitely bring a lot more energy and lightness to it, which helps it skip along. It's just a great addition and feels more like what I originally wanted it to be like, although the original has its own charm.” “Overall, the song develops and comes to conclusion. It's more of a positive message than negative, but yeah, it kind of deals with both things. False hope can be a real thing if we believe in life after death, but that could be a positive thing as well.” “My Gran was so religious and I think religion really comforted her in the stages where she's facing death. So, yeah, there's good behind it. Seeing that as a young person as well, it’s food for thought.”
