TaniA Kyllikki’s vocal prowess effortlessly takes the center stage on her latest love ballad. ‘I Struck Gold with You’ is the epitome of a love song -a stirring pop ballad led by a diva’s charismatic presence and heartfelt delivery.
Based in the English town of Berkshire, TaniA Kyllikki is a pop star whose streaming figures are through the roof, as she keeps delivering one terrific pop tune after another since she started releasing music roughly 6 years ago. ‘I Struck Gold with You’ is a truly captivating song. On paper, it is a safe song that uses an age-old formula. A quintessential pop ballad. Soft, breezy, emotive, piano-led, and fore fronted by a capable, touching voice, ‘I Struck Gold with You’ is an easy example of why this formula keeps on living on.
The piano figures on ‘I Struck Gold with You’ are interesting. Not quite as freeform as piano pop a-la Elton John, while not as classically leaning as to just resort to playing the chords unaltered, the line features a 2-note figure that repeats throughout the song, while the chords arpeggiate in the bass register right next to it. Simplistic composition made alluring and captivating using a simple but witty piano line. The vocals and words are breathtaking. Sung about persevering through love, this is a song that can get couples through tough patches, shedding light on all that needs salvaging, and being dedicated to Kyllikki’s husband and producer Rynellton, the sincerity is heartfelt in every syllable of TaniA’s performance.
A love song should need not much more than honesty and a heartfelt message to bring it across into the hearts of listeners. TaniA Kyllikki’s latest single is a case in point. A wonderful and smooth pop ballad that continues down a rich heritage of a genre that will never run dry.
