Giselle & Erik's latest single, "Morning Brew," is a beautifully understated folk gem that captures the magic of life’s quiet moments. With warm harmonies, delicate acoustic instrumentation, and lyrics steeped in simplicity and gratitude, the track feels like a gentle sunrise—unhurried, comforting, and full of promise.
From the very first line, "Nothing like morning brew to keep away my blues," the song establishes its cozy, homespun atmosphere. Giselle’s vocals, in particular, carry the same velvety richness and unforced elegance that Norah Jones is known for. There’s a softness to her delivery— soothing and effortlessly expressive—that immediately draws listeners in.
Much like Jones’ early work on Come Away With Me, Giselle doesn’t rely on vocal theatrics; instead, she lets the melody and phrasing breathe, allowing emotion to shine through in the spaces between the words. This subtle jazz-inflected approach, paired with Erik’s intricate guitar work, gives "Morning Brew" a timeless quality, equally suited for folk lovers and those who appreciate the hushed intimacy of acoustic jazz. Their ability to make the everyday feel profound is on full display here—whether they’re watching deer pass by, recalling dreams from the night before, or simply enjoying each other’s company in comfortable silence.
The song’s structure is equally inviting, with airy oo’s that swell like a contented sigh, reinforcing its uncomplicated charm. It’s a track that doesn’t rush; instead, it lingers, allowing listeners to sink into its warmth. And while the lyrics are simple, they carry a depth that resonates—a reminder to cherish the small, ordinary joys that shape our lives.
As the lead single from their new EP, Morning Brew sets the tone for what promises to be a heartfelt collection of songs. With echoes of The Civil Wars and the storytelling prowess of Simon & Garfunkel, Giselle & Erik continue to carve out a space in contemporary folk that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
Whether you’re starting your morning with coffee in hand or unwinding after a long day, "Morning Brew" is a song worth savoring.
