With artists, especially new ones, timing truly is everything. After teasing us with vocal snippets and performances, we at last have something to bless our ears from Lizzie Berchie on her debut single, ‘Pass Time’.
The single merges authentic Neo-Soul vibes with tinges of Jazz making for a relaxingly smooth tune you will need on repeat. Laid-back soulful keys and soul infused background percussion production by Hilts provide a wondrous backdrop for Lizzie to tell her tale of battling with letting herself open for love.
With gorgeous lyricism from the start, such as the intro line “Guess I could be overly sentimental, somebodies beautiful fool, as quiet as wind and nature…“, help to vividly paint the track’s premise. With her ever-rich yet smooth vocal tone, Lizzie sings about not being ready for weight and commitment of long-term love. “Cross my heart I hope to die with someone by my side, but not for now oh…”
Featuring on the track is the talented wordsmith Kofi Stone, who adds balance with a honest yet succinct verse from the male perspective on this romance. Vocally, Lizzie is flawless. With enriching melodies that touch the soul with lyrics to match, ‘Pass Time’ is a prime example of the best contemporary Neo-Soul that the UK has to offer in 2022.
We are extremely gassed to see what more Lizzie Berchie has to offer us going forward!
