Sometimes the best songs find you when you least expect them. E.G. Phillips’s new single, “When It Gets Dark” is a gentle and beautifully cinematic journey. With a warm and slow rhythm, the song allows listeners to truly sink into its atmosphere. Phillips’s voice stands out as both artistic and deeply emotive. There’s a timeless charm in his delivery that sticks with you. The lyrics are captivating, memorable and draw vivid pictures with subtle emotion and the instrumental is nothing short of elegant. Clarinet, cello, and piano work together to create a serene and wistful soundscape that supports the song’s nostalgic mood perfectly.
The overall production is polished and professional and the mixing is excellent. There’s a natural intimacy here that feels rare and honest. To be honest, I wasn’t very familiar with E.G. Phillips before, but this new song made me a fan. It’s a beautiful experience from start to finish and I genuinely can’t wait to hear what he releases next.
