FitzRoy observes: “I wrote this song about the cold breakdown of communication once a relationship has ended.” This stirring live studio performance video builds from a near quiet canvas of piano and drums into a gospel climax, all capped by FitzRoy’s blues-edged lead. Clearly, FitzRoy will win fans in the U.S. With powerhouse tracks such as “When The Wires Are Down,” she is a survivor who is ready to inspire those who struggle with life’s persistent obstacles.
