With her new single, "Seasons," Meg Ripps serves up a master class in emotional resilience. This song is the musical equivalent of a warm breeze on a calm day: breezy, heartfelt, and magnetically catchy. Drawing from the classic adage that "someone is in your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime," Ripps skillfully works her way through the bittersweet terrain of heartache, showing that even short-term players in a person's life have an impact that lasts far beyond the moment.
"Seasons" envelops you in a cruisey, bubbly vibe that sounds tailor-made for impromptu road trips and carefree sing-alongs. The melodies are as infectious as they are reassuring, stitching together a pensive and feel-good soundscape. It's that rarity of a song you can sing along to with the windows rolled down, regardless of the weather or how you're feeling — evidence of Ripps' talent for writing songs that everyone can sing.
Its easy mix of vulnerability and lightness takes "Seasons" to another level. Ripps doesn't wallow in heartbreak; she dances through it, her voice buoyed by a sense of hope as refreshing as the track's bright, feel-good production. The result is a song that gets lodged in your head, not just because it's catchy but because it rings true to something real we've all experienced.
Meg Ripps gave us a soundtrack for getting over, looking back, and making peace with the ebb and flow of life's strings. "Seasons" is an ideal soundtrack for each chapter, each farewell, and each new start.
