(October 8, 2023) UK-based singer and songwriter Abi Farrell modeled her musical vision after some of the most impactful female pop and soul artists of the latter 20th century, from Carole King to Chaka Khan. And those influences find their way into her soulful pop music, giving an "instant classic" feel to much of her work.
On Farrell's latest single, "Company," she teams with producer Mitch Ayling (The Milk) to deliver a ballad that builds from intimate to grand, with a full string section ultimately creating a glorious crescendo after a simple keyboard opening. And Farrell again displays her ample vocal chops -- more Chaka than Carole -- on a song that counsels a hesitant lover of what wonders could possibly come if they made the full commitment.
"Company" is the kind of song and performance that would have been a smash hit 40 years ago. If there is justice, it will be a hit now. Enjoy the revelation that is Abi Farrell, below.
