NY, US
Overall Impression: With its deeply endearing nature and delicate performances, “We Will Get Through This” is a song designed not to overwhelm but to guide—the musical equivalent of a steadying hand on the shoulder. It is a beautifully crafted reminder that comfort doesn’t always come from volume, but from intention. Through gentle vocals, world-flavored textures, and lyrics steeped in empathy, Chris Oledude creates a musical safe haven—one that feels both spiritually uplifting and intimately personal. It’s not just a song; it’s a companion for difficult moments, a testament to the quiet power of compassion, and a reminder that even in our darkest shades of grey, we never face the storm alone.
Strongest Point(s): Chris’s vocal performance radiates an undeniable sense of delicacy and poise, built on subtlety rather than spectacle. Each phrase is allowed to breathe, spacious and unhurried, with his calm, soothing presence becoming the emotional anchor of the track—something relatable and human, more companion than performer. Even when the lyrics address turmoil—“All the weakness, fear and loss twirling with tornado force…”—the delivery remains meditative and gentle, as if offering reassurance that clarity and compassion can steady even the fiercest internal storm. The dynamic shift introduced by the female vocalist adds a powerful second emotional lens. Her presence doesn’t simply provide harmony; it broadens the narrative, creating a dialogue of mutual support. Where Chris offers grounding reassurance, she brings uplift and empathy, reinforcing the song’s central message that healing and perseverance are shared experiences. The arrangement further amplifies this warmth, wrapping the vocals in richly textured layers. Velvety synth-string pads glow beneath the melody, while spirit-raising backing vocals swell with an almost angelic presence. The classical guitar introduces a world-music flavor through Latin-inspired, flamenco-infused phrasing, injecting intimacy and passion. Brief surges of harmonic intensity prevent the track from becoming static, and subtle gothic-tinged choral moments momentarily deepen the emotional contrast before the song returns to its comforting tonal palette—making the light feel even brighter after the shade.
Target Audience Appeal: Fans of adult contemporary pop will find this to be an undeniably soothing listening experience.
Artist target suggestions: Johnny Mathis, The Manhattens, Lenny Williams, Celine Dion, Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston, Joni Mitchell
