In “Gravity” from her album Good Things Take Time, Hailes creates a tune that’s like drifting through thoughts of knowing yourself and connecting with others. Charles Myers and Daniel Winshall‘s production fuses indie-soul smoothly, with deep lyrics and a beat that hits like a pulse. Hailes belts out, “Door don’t open its not mine / I don’t chase imma be fine,” her voice smooth, rolling over lines of wisdom and self-acceptance.
The track mixes electronic and natural sounds. The percussion brings an Afro-Caribbean touch, grounding yet freeing. Synth pads add a dreamy layer, and the electric guitar keeps it down-to-earth. Hailes‘ voice in “Gravity” is comforting, like a knowing friend. In “I need gravity / Bring me bring me back from the apogee,” she’s looking for balance between high-flying dreams and staying grounded.
Ending the song, you feel like you’ve walked through someone’s thoughts, where self-reflection and beats blend perfectly. “Gravity” is a distinct instance in a noisy world, showing us that real depth often resides in the quiet.
