Setting the tone with an intricate guitar soundscape, Vili V opens Tupelo Rhythm with a timeless blues and country hybrid energy, and needless to say, we are captivated! The opus expands with metaphorical and assertive prose as Vili V showcases his luscious vocal timbre, classic references and charismatic depth.
We appreciate the poetic nuance of Tupelo Rhythm, which touches upon the theme of “overcoming obstacles”, whilst highlighting Vili V‘s personal journey through “moments of rejection, illness, and setbacks.”
Speaking on the message of the release, Vili V adds, “The lyrics are a powerful reminder that pain and rejection can be overcome with time and forgiveness. The song urges listeners to come together and sing as one big happy family, with a strong sense of community and belonging. It’s a call to anyone who has ever felt like they don’t fit in, encouraging them to embrace their unique voice and follow the path God has laid out for them.”
We learn that the track is taken from the rising star’s upcoming album, In Daddy’s Arms Again, which is created with inspiring themes of “resilience, hope, and the unwavering spirit”, and created with the intention to “serve as a beacon of light, reminding listeners to never give up, even in the face of adversity.”
Tupelo Rhythm comes with a cinematic and captivating lyric video, conveyed through the imagery of the American South, the Mississippi Delta, which brings to life the expansive energy of the song perfectly!
The purpose that Vili V creates with is tangible, and we love the soundscape and energy that he has to offer. Tupelo Rhythm has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream the star’s existing discography, and anticipate the launch of his new album!
