A sultry piano and textured soundscape set the tone for Give It Up So Easy, the latest single from Adri-Anne Ralph. The opening lyrics are introspective with, “you let it fall, didn’t pick it up, so many pieces, what’s left of us, what am i supposed to do?“
The narrative of the song is in essence, Adri-Anne’s realization that the person she loves has given up. It’s sad and refined with stunning instrumentation alongside the artist’s eloquent and hypnotising tone.
Give It Up So Easy is a modern rnb track, with classic and evocative vocals, and bittersweet lyrics. Adri-Anne showcases her vulnerability and her strength and prowess builds in intensity as the song expands emotionally. It was originally recorded when she was pregnant, so the sense of raw emotion really cuts through.
Speaking on her come up, Adri-Anne says, “I started singing in jazz clubs when I was around fourteen years old, and in local venues accompanying myself on piano. Since then, I haven’t stopped creating and performing music.”
Musing on the story of the song itself, the powerhouse vocalist and new mother says, “This song is about how it takes two people in a relationship to do the hard work of keeping the spark of love alive, and what happens if one person just gives up and drops the ball, so to speak.”
