Yvonne Hercules' "Roving" inspires with its soulful power
To truly be moved by a piece of music is one of life’s greatest pleasures, and the soulful delivery of Yvonne Hercules on newest single "Roving" will send shivers down your spine.
Inspired partly by the horrific continuation of police brutality and poor treatment of minority groups, "Roving" introduces a calm, impassioned call for kindness and understanding.
"Roving" is three minutes and 45 seconds of powerful statements that are much more than an attempt to be relevant. Words such as: “Don’t you know what’s here is yours,” and “barricade us in and we fall down,” are delivered in moving harmonies that will doubtless inspire action for positive change.
There are factions of people who question whether politics and music make good bedfellows, but upon listening to Yvonne Hercules it becomes abundantly clear that a musician’s place is in the revolution.
