Gabrielle Murphy aka MRPHY demonstrates gift for emotive phrasing on her debut single “Hey Love.” A simple piano line and strings frame and highlight her voice throughout the song, following her organic pacing as she sings about heartsickness at being separated from the person she loves, expressing her fears and insecurities with a tenderness and strength of feeling with an economy of style that makes her lyrics all the more striking when it becomes apparent that the sense of emotional ache comes from the fact that the relationship is over but still affects her deeply even though she is resigned to the fact that it can never be again but not without regret. At a time when too many people think they’re strong because they have no regrets, MRPHY is strong enough to admit to vulnerability and having some regrets of her own. Listen to “Hey Love” on Soundcloud and watch the song’s music video on YouTube.
