In a compelling fusion of folk rock mastery, Welsh trobairitz Jane Allison introduces her second single, ‘FRAYED,’ from the critically acclaimed album ‘Like Magdalene.’ As an accomplished musician, actor, writer, and songwriter, Jane Allison collaborates once again with musician and producer Alonza Bevan (Kula Shaker), delivering a captivating creation that resonates with a powerful blend of defiance, courage, and emotional intensity.
‘FRAYED’ emerges as a modern-day anthem, inviting listeners to traverse the delicate line between vulnerability and strength, reminiscent of iconic tracks like Bonnie Rait’s ‘Dimming of the Day’ and Stevie Nicks’ ‘Songbird.’ With a distinctive twist that aligns it as a call to arms, this single embodies the spirit of triumph over duplicity, deception, and betrayal.
Amidst the broken smokiness of a torch song, Jane Allison’s vocals infuse the lyrics with warmth and soaring assurance. The melodies and harmonies seamlessly sweep through the composition, evoking a sense of empowerment and conviction. With ‘FRAYED,’ Jane Allison not only addresses the complexities of love and life but also crafts an anthemic rally cry for our times.
“It’s a song dealing in the quiet rebellion against vampires and villains who come in the guise of leaders, lovers, or friends. A tale of triumph over duplicity and deception, betrayal and treason – whether of the heart, on the battlefield – or everyday life behind closed doors…” – Jane Allison
