Wyldest returns with new single 'The Best Is Yet To Come'.
The songwriter – real name Zoe Mead – completed her album 'Monthly Friend' largely on her own, and also played a huge role in the subsequent visuals.
A self-contained artist, she then faced what every artist dreads: writer's block.
Linking with fellow songwriter Luciano Rossi, the two aided one another, with new music following.
New single 'The Best Is Yet To Come' opens with a gentle guitar line, before building into something large-scale, and cinematic.
Out now, the lyrics were penned during lockdown. She comments: “This was written in the midst of isolation, friends and family were shuffling around moving away, changing. I chose to stay in the city, but could feel my world changing, disappearing in a way. However I suppose it was evolving into something different.”
“Like many people during 2020/21 I felt a little trapped within my own existence, being resistant to change and resentful that people close to me were moving away, doing what they felt they needed to.”
“‘The Best Is Yet To Come’ is about being hopeful that all the great things we had once are also mapped out in the future too, life is long and comes in multiple different chapters, it’s all part of the journey and we should never lose sight of the the present as things are constantly changing and evolving, so we can just sit back and enjoy the ride.”
A graceful return, it comes with visuals from award-winning director Laurie Barraclough.
Tune in now.
