Gifted - Loulita Gill (Easy Listening) In “Gifted,” Loulita Gill processes her trauma in a echo chamber of melancholy. The vocal is that of an ingenue who’s been dealt a blow: you can hear the lost innocence in the performance overlayed with a newfound maturity and grounding that trauma can often bring. Loulita is close an intimate, which works well to pull the listener into the story. Overall, it’s a minimalist and reserved production serving to highlight Loulita’s careful performance; it’s a patient song using guitar plucks to give momentum through the miasma of synths which set a sort of “limbo” atmosphere in which Loulita floats. It’s a weighty track, and will leave you adrift, and with a heavy heart.
