That famous phrase, “it’s not you, it’s me” became music.
Justina Ward is a young Australian singer and songwriter who, unlike many artists, decided to sing about the difficulty of falling in love. “Drifter” is a song about love not in a romantic way.
Her last work released in February is self-deprecating attack on not knowing yourself or being able to fall in love. After all, if you don’t know what you love, how to fall in love with something or someone, right?
How many stories have you lived, or know someone who has heard the famous cliché phrase “It’s not you, it’s me”. Sometimes it’s just an excuse, and sometimes it can be true. This song is a story about the speaker.
Drifter
The single “Drifter” was recorded in a home studio with a piano and orchestral accompaniment, which created a melancholic atmosphere.
Justina‘s voice is sweet, and the indie-like melody is captivating. The video clip recorded in a home-style gives a feeling of nostalgia, at least for me.
It is possible to feel the influences of the singer in this song. Justina is a fan of Alanis Morissette, Florence + Machine, Tash Sultana, Aisha Badru, and Rose Cousins.
