//Song Review\\ Mia Van De Loo Breaks Free From Fear Through Latest Single 'Quicksand'

With a yearning vibrance to be heard, Nashville Singer-Songwriter Mia Van De Loo is back with new single

‘quicksand ’, a track which is fed up of waiting for the good part to kick in, and will resonate with anyone who has ever dared to dream big but felt like they're falling behind.

​’quicksand’ doesn’t stand by and take the heat but rather faces it with strength throughout. With a cathartically passionate lyrical nature that builds with every note into a force to be reckoned with, and an awareness that holds fear as if it is a fragmented friend. This track accepts its fears as part of the journey while also holding it at arm's length, knowing the cost of letting it thrive 

Musically, it's a bit of a slow burn but in a similar way to the leaves changing colour in autumn contrasted with the hunger of a fox in the winter. With every melancholic guitar strum and string riff building in power, the track wanders through its driving lyrical narrative, parallel to punctuating percussion that feels like the embodiment of rejection and a moment of realisation.

By its bridge, ‘quicksand’ deals its most heart-wrenching swing in the form of layered, swirling harmonies, reassuring, rousing strings, and an undercurrent of building drums that is breath-taking to its core, holding the track’s sorrow with a care and caress that carries its narrative to a perfect, striking close.

Overall, ‘quicksand’ is the perfect battle cry for anyone who has dreamed big but has not found their place yet, put their dreams on hold to survive, or isn't sure where to take their passions next, perfect for fans of both Rachel Chinouriri's ‘What a devastating turn of events’ and Lizzy McAlpine's ‘Five Seconds Flat’ and the autumn season.
