Shannon Hawley has a timekeepers’ essence in sound. She brings a unique tone and feel to her music, from the genres and sounds that have raised her. Though the kind of songs she makes keep varying, she makes sure every bit of music is thought out till the end. Collaborating often with her producer, Nekter Gun, this is her latest single, called Mercy.

With touching lyrics and well composed instrumentals, she takes an energetic, organic build for this song. Though the lyrics are of respite and meditation, the pulse is always rising, and brimming with energy. By the time we explode into the chorus, there is a hair-raising crash of sound. Even the harmonizing choir section adds a remarkable amount of depth to the sound they have. Nekter Gun’s sound is memorable as well, bringing a different textural dimension to this inspiring song. It talks about maturity, life and how it all changes in essence. The high notes, really touch the soul in the creative, raw powered way they have been executed. It is a memorable track, perfected with the kind of sound that is unique to Shannon Hawley and her way of executing music like this. 

The duet section is the cherry on the icing of this cake. This song would have been perfect for many episodes of Scrubs, and even Life. The truth in the lyrics and rising sound of the chorus can make for some great sequences. Her album called A Different Kind of Progress is a superb album from 2015, and her singles lately resonate with many. Follow her for more music!
