serpentwithfeet, WRITHING IN THE WIND | Song Review 🎵

[usr 4]

Although brief, serpentwithfeet delivers a surefire vibe with “WRITHING IN THE WIND,” the promo single for GRIP SEQUEL.  

[otw_shortcode_dropcap label=”“A” size=”large” border_color_class=”otw-no-border-color” shadow=”shadow” square=”square”] mangled heart writing in the wind / Let me mend it, let me mend it.” Serpentwithfeet (Josiah Wise) takes the initiative to fix this damaged heart. Why? “I’m not who I was then,” he sings, adding, “I wanna make, make amends.” So, he is the culprit of the brokenness on “WRITHING IN THE WIND”? It appears so.  “Can you give me a chance?” he asks, pleading, “Boy, give me another chance.” At least Wise seeks to atone for his wrongdoing and heartbreaking ways, albeit briefly.  He sings beautifully over gorgeous piano chords, rhythmic, harmonized background vocals, and an active thudding beat. Clocking in under a minute and a half, the fifth track from GRIP SEQUEL, the expanded edition of Wise’s 2024 album, GRIP, is a surefire vibe. Perhaps the biggest flaw of “WRITHING IN THE WIND” is the fact that it doesn’t last longer.  Serpentwithfeet has an excellent musical thing going on here, no cap.[/otw_shortcode_dropcap]
