“Wearing Blue”, from Austin-based Wild Child, is an elegantly arranged indie pop ballad with an urgent sense of longing that’s brought to life by a vibrant weaving of harmonies, strings, and delicate piano. The respect between musicians is apparent as everyone’s small yet intricate parts work together to build a cohesive and dynamic whole without getting in each other’s way.
“Wearing Blue” was the first song written together with the newest Wild Child member, John Calvin Abney. He entered our orbit so effortlessly and his unique mix of genuine charisma and talent ignited a fire in the writing of this record. As such, “Wearing Blue” happened in the first 30 minutes of officially getting the band back together. John shared a hauntingly beautiful piano riff that he had been holding onto for years and within a few minutes, Kelsey had found the perfect words and melody, as if they had fallen from the cosmos. The chemistry was undeniable and it marked a seamless transition into a new world of Wild Child.”
