(February 13, 2023) Trinidad and Tobago-born, and Nashville-based singer and songwriter Will Gittens is new to us, but his influences, from Stevie Wonder to Michael Jackson, are right in our sweet spot. And so is the new music by the Berklee School of Music graduate.
Gittens’ latest single, “Bigger Person,” is a ethereal number that is half-pop half-soul and all engaging. Opening with a simple acoustic guitar, the singer sings the tale of a man who realizes that his relationship he has been fighting to keep is really over – and that that is the best for his own health.
I’m not gonnа be
The bigger person not this time
I’m gonnа fight if аnyone crosses the line
I know you used to think
I wаs your doormаt on the floor
I think you should die to who I wаs before
I’m not the bigger person no more
