Early Winter - Rehya Stevens (Easy Listening) It’s unseasonably cold in Rehya Steven’s latest track, the brooding ballad “Early Winter”, where powerful vocals tell a tale of relationship troubles making it seem like the cold has arrived before it’s due. The song is wistful, delivered in an understated production of keys, drums and a heartstring pulling verbed guitar, kicked up into high gear when the strings sweep in. But the center of the track is Rehya’s golden vocals. Mature, grounded and emotive, there’s a folk or even country influence to the performance that helps tell the story with emotional truth. With a classic sound and emotional punch, “Early Winter” makes for a great car or shower singalong when you’re caught in your feels or dwelling on the past.

Best Lyric: “It’s colder in my world.”
