The new single by LittleFox, “Magpie Heart,” is a beautiful ode to love that showcases Alison Jenkins’ talent for crafting honest and heartfelt folk music. The song starts off with a gentle mandolin melody that sets the tone for the rest of the track. From there, Jenkins’ delicate vocals come in, delivering the first line of the chorus: “Let’s get lost, lost in the little things.”

The mix of the song is very indie, with a focus on acoustic instruments and minimal production. This suits the simplistic songwriting style perfectly, allowing the listener to really focus on the lyrics and the melody. The Banjo takes centre stage in the composition, weaving in and out of the vocals and providing a warm, earthy feel to the track.

Magpie Heart is a love song that is reminiscent of music that touches your soul. The singer-songwriter’s approach to songwriting is heartfelt and intimate with a touch of personality. The gorgeous vocal harmonies and lush instrumentation create a soundscape that transports the listener to a state of calmness and serenity. The song takes inspiration from a variety of folk artists and country music and this is evident in the narrative and artistic vision that LittleFox has created.
