Over Again is the latest song from Nashville-based musician, singer-songwriter, and actor, Katie Boeck. What drew me to her latest song is just how simple the performance and production is — Boeck’s vocal is sat atop a simple strummed guitar, gentle keys and, well, very little else… It creates a simplicity that reminds me of the early-00s trend of acoustic chill-out music.
The star of the show here is, undoubtedly, Boeck’s overdubbed vocal harmonies. The restrained delivery of her vocals are a depiction of coming to terms with the past, and it is a delightfully restrained performance. The few moments that reflect that Over Again is the product of a recording studio rather than a live performance are so subtle they could almost be missed, if they didn’t add just a touch of emotional emphasis. This is the sound of an artist at peace.
