Taste Test: Gabriella Cilmi searches for absolution within herself on new song, ‘Safe from Harm’
The soul-country singer probes deep to find relief.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
We are all in the hunt to understand ourself. Whatever the past was leads us directly into the future – and sometimes, that comes with a heavy emotional price point. Soul-country singer Gabriella Cilmi tussles with her mental journey on the candle-burning new song called “Safe from Harm.” She scuffles only briefly as she wades deeper into uncertain waters, and she turns over parts of herself as collections of glass. “All I ever wanted was right in your arms,” she sings. Her outward confessions are irrefutably inward examinations, but she bursts at the seams and screams uproariously upon a mountaintop. She seeks absolution from her self-applied guilt, and by dawn’s early light, she just might get it yet.
“Safe from Harm” is lifted from Cilmi’s new EP, The Water, out everywhere now.
