REWS- Can You Feel It
Thursday 5th November 2015
They Say:“'Can You Feel It' is a song inspired by heartbreak - when I wrote the song I was having a bit of a crappy time & after lots of observation, various conversations and pieces of advice from close friends - I wanted to try and create a great piece of music that would let others know that it is okay and normal to feel the effects of grieving and that you're not alone… In fact I wanted to encourage people to know that in the end it is the best time to use to focus on yourself, experience the emotions (let it out), fall in love with yourself again, find your identity & do what you love to do (dance like no one’s watching, sing like no one’s listening!) cause when your cup is full, it can overflow and that's when you can truly love another person properly again!
With REWS, we want to create high energy music that really speaks into people's situations, as music really is a powerful language and we want to help people to heal and just let go of anything that holds them back!”
We Say: "It’s probably unfair to have so much expectation given REWS is essentially the new project for Shauna ‘Silhouette’ Tohill. We should, perhaps, approach them as we would a brand new band. Not that it matters - ‘Can You Feel It’ lives up to any hype or expectation, showcasing REWS as a streamlined, slightly noisier incarnation. Furthermore - the type of big hooks we remember fondly from Silhouette’s finest moments are also present and correct”.
REWS is Shauna Tohill & Collette Williams. First coming to our attention in July, 'Can You Feel It' was released digitally on 23rd October
