Stephanie Releases Debut EP – Resilient Soul
Resilient Soul is the debut offering from Stephanie Gill.
The death of her good friend, Candia Bennett (Candy), in April 2008 prompted her to write and record her first song which was played at her friend’s memorial service and presented to Candy’s mother as a keep-sake.
Almost exactly two years after Candy’s death, Stephanie recorded her first CD (EP) called “Resilient Soul” dedicated to her friend Candy.
The EP consists of six “organic folk, pop” songs straight from the heart. Stephanie completed writing and recording the songs with the help of her long life friend and well known Australian professional vocalist, Daryl Murphy. Murphy co-produced all the tracks and also provided all the exquisite backing vocals. The masterful Brisbane based musician, Toby Loveland provided the guitar on all tracks, with the exception of “Assistant to the Lost Souls”.
Included in the tunes (song #5), is the song Stephanie wrote in memory of her friend Candy, entitled, “Assistant to the Lost Souls”. Other songs include the upbeat “Sunday Song”, a gentle reminder that many of us are looking for happiness in all the wrong places. Then there is “Conversation” a relationship break up song which began as a verse in Stephanie’s head
15 years before it was recorded (quite a gestation period!). Track 3, “Richard Branson” is a bit of a giggle and explains how “I want to be like Richard Branson, not scared of taking chances and laughing lots along the way”…..Song 4 “Flame” really is a song of resilience. Lastly there is “Hands Up” about giving a friend a hand up when they need it most.
The songs certainly have a feel good vibe about them. They are stripped quite bare with guitar and keyboard being the instruments of choice. The songs are a great pick me up and are great fodder for a sing-a-long or a pleasant sound track while you are making dinner.
Stephanie’s desire is to sing a song in her heart and connect to the heart space of others.
