…this song was bursting with complexity and versatility. The initial listen had us glued to the lyricism and putting together the pieces of the story’s puzzle, whereas the second was highlighted by the diverse instrumentals creating the atmosphere and overall aura of “Home To You”. It’s as strong of a debut as we could possibly imagine and thankfully there’s a ton more on the way.
“Home to You” is a memorable new single from Atlanta-based band Graham And The Band Upstairs, embracing juxtaposition and throwback charm in its warming folk songwriting.
[Home To You] is bolstered by serene guitar licks from Jeff Dei Dolori, enamoring backing vocals from Veronica Roman, and a solemnly consuming lead via Graham Waldrop.
“Home To You” opens on low-slung strumming guitars topped by Waldrop’s tender, velvety voice, imbuing the lyrics with heavy wistfulness. Dei Dolori’s scintillating guitar gives the tune glowing intonations, tinted by hints of Spanish aromas.
Tragically scented, “Home To You” slides on gentle leitmotifs as the lyrics tell a tale of secret heartache and emotional separation.
The magic of acoustic tranquilly is possessed by Veronica’s backing vocals, which form an incredible harmony with the languorous and deep voice of Graham. Turn this track on while walking on the beach or in the park, and you’ll understand what I’m talking about.
Absolute love and tenderness shines in every note of Home To You.
“Together, they form an experienced and harmonious outfit that beautifully complements each other’s talents to create their soulful sound. It's clear that Graham and The Band Upstairs bring a new breath of life to the classic folk-rock sound, with their own special twist. With "Home to You" as the perfect example, there's no doubt fans of Americana music will be anxiously awaiting more from this group.”
