‘Hurricane’ by Morganway delivers a whirlwind of emotions. The fierce guitars lead us in with a powerful strength. A subtle, charming violin adds a touch of beauty and innocence. Her voice enters. Fragility through the pain, sweet hints of vulnerability are given. The chains that you wrapped around me. She gains strength as the emotions fill her soul, gnarly wrathful notes and big bold power replace the sweetness. It's our world that's crashing down. The sound and vocals fill every inch of space, the great energy surging through your mind. A story of hurt and love’s anguish is told.
East Anglian rock / Americana collective Morganway have released their second single ‘Hurricane’, taken from their upcoming self-titled debut album due this summer… ‘Hurricane’ was one of the first tracks written by the band, and has become the staple show closer, “It’s been with us pretty much since the beginning. We tend to end every show with it, and each time it’s a little different” Callum Morgan comments. The version presented on record captures that raw spontaneity, and has the signature crunchy guitars, roaring vocals and marriage of melody, harmony and pulse-pounding rhythm that has charmed live audiences around the UK, “The bulk of it was recorded live, with minimal overdubs. We also changed its key at the last minute, and suddenly there was a newfound urgency to the song that I think was always missing when we’d attempted to record it before. SJ did her lead vocals late at night, with all the main studio lights dimmed to create an almost eerie atmosphere, and she gave the most ferocious vocal take we’d heard from her.”, adds Callum.
