Kim Free took some inspiration from Chet Baker for her single “Until the Moon Turns Blue.” The spare and simple composition of the song allows space for the emotional content to bloom as it will. Rather than trumpet, Free employs a gently strummed guitar and a violin figure to filigree her song about heartbreak and learning to let go even if the feelings are difficult to release after the realization that things were never going to work out. Free’s shifting chords are where the complexity of these tangled feelings resolve in unconventional manner as the heart learns to accept what the mind and the more clear judgment of the people in our lives have already pointed out about a relationship that has already played out with nothing left to say and really nothing left to cling to but the emotional habits that have already outlived their usefulness.
