A wave of nostalgia, warmth, and felicity will wash over you. once you listen to Jesabel’s latest single, “This Small Town.”
Jesabel is based in Jacksonville, Florida, but she was born in Georgia. On her latest and fifth single, “This Small Town,” she gives her hometown a visit and captures the feeling of being home again. The song conveys this contrary, yet normal emotion of needing to leave the small town because your dreams have become bigger than it, and you feel like you don’t belong in this place. Once you leave and soar as high as you can, you get homesick and can’t wait to go back again.
The storytelling makes the song heartfelt and has a homey, cozy ambiance even if the listener hasn’t been in a relevant situation. I’ve lived in the same city my whole life, but the sincerity in the lyrics makes me feel the sentiments it carries, anyway.
The acoustic intro is appealing, and Jesabel has such warm, melodic vocals! She captivates you once she begins to sing. Her voice is like warm, bright sun rays on a cold morning. The beats are uplifting, and the bass line adds glimmer. The melody is light and atmospheric, and the fusion of Pop, Country, and Folk lends depth and vividness to the song.
The music video embodies the single’s concept and has graceful vibes that make it extra light and dazzling.
Jesabel has a voice that could make your day, and although she used to be afraid of singing in front of others, her authentic vocals could easily charm you. Hearing “This Small Town” makes one glad that she overcame her fear and put herself on the right path so we could enjoy her exceptional gift.
