It’s true then, sometimes strangers can find a way into our hearts. This is a feeling I am experiencing after finding myself in love with the beautifully smooth and genuine artistry of Jillian Skye, whom I just discovered! She is as versatile as they come, exploring pop, R&B, and alternative, with a voice that feels like a sweet strawberry milkshake—delightful, soothing, and irresistibly comforting. Her pen game reflects her young lived experiences, painting the universe with a rich tapestry of her emotions and observations, not only to entertain but also to uplift, inspire, and empower her listeners. I mean, bless her soul!
A captivating spark is ignited as soon as Jillian Skye starts singing in her single “Lately.” The song is so smooth yet so rich, with an easy-going yet evocative cadence that melds beautifully with Jillian Skye’s sultry vocal tones to evoke a feeling so close to paradise.
Like I mentioned, Jillian has a country voice, which really works well with this candid pop instrumentation that has some subtle rock flourishes bestowed on it that can be deciphered by the keen listener.
At the heart of her performance is the unforgettable chorus that encapsulates the song’s theme about the reminiscence that comes with past love; the haunting memories of the good times shared together that have since eloped.
“Lately” is a radio-friendly anthem with large-scale impact thanks to its genre-bended creativity and innovation, as well as Skye’s sweet, sultry, and charming voice that feels right at home in a listener’s heart and soul.
This is the kind of performance that imprints itself on a listener right from the get-go and stays with you for as long as you like. I can still feel Jillian’s beautiful voice, her catchy and infectious lyrics, and the sweet-sounding melodious beat playing repeatedly in my mind…and I don’t mind.
With over 18K Spotify streams so far, “Lately” is a shining example of rare talents that have been hidden amidst the grit of the music scene and which deserve the spotlight and acclaim. Jillian Skye most certainly deserves to be heard more, and you now have the opportunity to do so. Let’s start with this enchanting single.
