‘Lay It All Down’ is Rebecca Anderson’s new single, a soft, powerful song that is about forgetting about worries and discovering peace. This song, after her previous release “In the Beginning” displays how she has progressed as an artist. It speaks about life’s struggle and it gently reminds us that sometimes the best thing to do is to let go of the things that are out of our control.
In the beginning, the song starts in a laid back way with acoustic-sounding music evoking a serene atmosphere. Anderson’s voice sounds soft but strong. Her singing sounds sincere, emotional, and makes one think. There is a soft bass, soft string instrumentals in the music that makes it feel warming and comfortable.
Lyrically, the song talks about the weight that people bear and how liberating it can be to put download the burdens. It was composed by Anderson in the period of personal contemplation and one can see that it has the heartfelt nature of her words. She uses her own life and other people’s lives to write a song that most people can identify with.
Her style combines soul, R&B, and folk, which makes for a sound that is new and yet somehow known. The message is clear: we are never alone with our fights, and we can stop and trust that things will definitely get better.
“Lay It All Down” is a time of healing and comfort to those who feel overwhelmed. Rebecca Anderson’s voice and words tell us that there is no need to carry the load by ourselves. In this release, she demonstrates how music can be a place where one can reflect in peace and hope. Her future album “Citizen of Heaven”, will definitely bear further powerful message.
