Shaina Hayes returns with “Tempest”, a calm new single that has a lot going on beneath its quiet sound. The song starts gently with acoustic guitar, while her clear voice sits at the center. I loved how simple and catchy her singing is and the lyrics stay in your head for hours. As the song moves forward, small percussion and extra guitar parts slowly add more weight. The production and mixing are clean and full of detail. The song is about anxiety building under the surface and Hayes handles that idea beautifully. She is an artist worth watching closely.
