E.G. Phillips' "The Albatross Song" Review

 

”The Albatross Song” by E.G. Phillips is a track that incorporates jazz and folk elements and has a rather slow pace of the song, which brings an atmosphere of comfort and rest like a Sunday afternoon. The lyrics are fantastic and the deep, candid voice makes for an endearing storytelling experience. The accompaniment comprises of a simple guitar plucking and an ambulating bass line, which makes the overall mood classy yet casual. It is a song that talks about small life — existential issues, but in a humorous manner, therefore making it a funny song yet with a deeper meaning. As a simple and happy song about life’s simple pleasures and reflecting its beauty on the life of people this song will be a good fit for jazz and folk lovers.
