Aaron Wiggins’s ‘Brighter Day’ is a soulful delicacy that soothes the mind with its comforting words and its chill rhythms and melodies. A vocal duet with miles of chemistry between Wiggins and his collaborator Yanni Amore, ‘Brighter Day’ is smooth as silk.
Virginia Beach based soul musician Aaron Wiggins clearly knows how to write a reassuring song. As a vocal arranger and a producer, Wiggins has been able to put together his own distinct sound after 10 years of experience in the business, and just his dedication to create songs that are mostly directed at making people feel lighter and easier makes him a genuinely follow-able musician. ‘Brighter Day’ is a continuation of Wiggins’s habit.
A product of Wiggins, Amore, and produced by Ben “TMD” Thompson, the trio have captured lightning in a bottle with the song’s minimal chord sequence, chill, heavily-swung beat, and with the oozing vocal chemistry between Wiggins and Amore. In the process, ‘Brighter Day’ got elevated from being a soulful, feel-good pop song, into a captivating experience that engulfs you and you come out feeling better by the end of it.
With an able producer at the hem of the ship, and an experienced vocal arranger leading the project, it is no surprise that ‘Brighter Day’ would come out a quality product.
