Spring - Philip Labes (2022)

Ideated from: it’s Bring Your Daughter To Blog week. She gave me a list of a whole week’s worth of things she wanted me to listen to.

Labes has a record released for each season in the last few months. Not having listened to the others, I don’t know how much his sound differs from one season to the next, but I can definitely hear spring here. Hope and emergence and rebirth, hopeful and swelling and ready to run.

He has a great tenor voice that packs a lot of emotion in.
