Weekend Supplement: Whinnie Williams ~ Break Hearts In Your Sleep
Whinnie Williams astounds with every musical endeavour she undertakes. Whether it be one of her breathtakingly gorgeous original songs or her stunning interpretations of other people's music, she pours her heart and soul into it to ensure that it is both a visual and aural feast for the senses. Her second original song, Break Hearts In Your Sleep is absolutely no exception. Her music is always a celebration of melody, a triumph of exquisite composition and a carousal of intricate, engaging instrumental that form as much a part of the narrative as those searingly honest lyrics do. Break Hearts in Your Sleep is a love letter to the timeless musical vibe of the sixties and sees the adorable Whinnie sing of an absolute cad who she is absolutely sure she can tame, if only he'd just allow her to. It's beautifully delivered - her voice has this ethereal, emotive quality that's as light as the sumptuous music yet has an element of wistful regret & yearning in it that gives the tune a sad yet hopeful edge to it. Elegant chimes swirl in and out of the music & delicate keyboard riffs that bridge the verse and chorus are like the cotton candy of pop music, giving giddy thrills with the thoughtfulness of the arrangements. The middle 8 is brief but equally delightful as it gives the music some time to breathe on it's own, allowing those heavenly staves to wash over you before Whinnie's mesmerising voice comes back in for a final denouement of this rouge-ish fella. Add to this a visual feast that tells the tale of Whinnie and her scrumptious canine companion Brian - trying to raise money to get back to their beloved Paris. This means hawking family heirlooms on Cash In The Attic (with a silver fox host, so buttoned up that you know once you'd whipped off that bowtie, he'd be a wild man on a night out :D), playing bingo, busking and selling potentially revolting lemonade. Will they get the dosh they need? You'll have to watch the enchanting clip above to find out :) all in all, the song is just one more reason to fall endlessly in love with Whinnie Williams.
