Nashville-based Americana rocker Sophie Gault shares the brand new release “Is There Anyone Out There” a stirring reinterpretation of Gurf Morlix’s track from Kiss of the Diamondback.
Teaming up with the legendary songwriter himself, Gault brings a warm, reflective energy to the song, trading her trademark grit for meditative grace. This latest song is a preview from the forthcoming album “UNHINGED”, due for release on January 23 via Torrez Music Group.
Gault infuses the track with organic warmth, allowing listeners to imagine seafront landscapes. Morlix released his nine-track project Kiss of the Diamondback in the midst of a pandemic, pouring a deep sense of loneliness into the original recording as a quasi-reflection of lockdown conditions. Placed in Gault’s hands, the track burns with a communal fire and bittersweet melancholy rather than abject solitude, a sonic evolution that pairs well with its original themes.
Discussing her relationship with the prominent producer and songwriter, Gault said, “It’s magical how this one came together. I’ve known Gurf for a few years now, and he’s always been very supportive and encouraging to me as an artist and writer, which is a big deal to me. He’s made some of the music that is now a part of my own musical identity—he helped shape how I play the guitar when I was listening to him all those late nights trying to work out licks that I still use to this day. I’d been meaning to do a cover of one of his songs, and while I was on a flight home from somewhere, I listened to Kiss of the Diamondback, one of my favorite Gurf albums. This was the last song on that album, and it put me in such a calm, meditative state. I decided that has to be the one I do. So I worked up my own version.”
