Rising American Singer-Songwriter Essy is back with the new single “The High Road,” a driving anthem that mixes glistening synths, upbeat percussion, and powerhouse vocals. This song lays a snare on you from its first pulsating note, providing an aural dopamine drip that recalls racing down a neon-drenched highway into freedom.
With a vocal style and a deeper level of the story, Essy does an excellent job telling the story of a small-town dreamer looking for something more. “The High Road” is an instinct that tells when you know you were meant for more. It’s the bittersweet combination of hope and uncertainty while you pursue the unknown.
The song offers evocative images of yearning and ambition, and eschewing the clichés of escapism, it grounds the story in naked emotion. The production captures this energy beautifully, with melodies and an irresistible groove that’ll have you moving before you know it.
