Our musical discovery of the artist Ted Stanley feels like stepping into a quiet refuge by the sea. His song Shoreline unfolds as a true haven of peace, inviting the listener to slow down and breathe.
We enter gently, guided by a tender guitar, soon joined by an harmonica that carries us far beyond the present moment. And then there is that voice — warm, intimate. It navigates us softly, as if meant to repair something fragile inside. The rhythms are subtle, solar, flowing like waves that never rush, only return.
Rooted in folk and country traditions, this music is filled with soul and emotion. It feels pure, crafted with love and deep intention. Ted Stanley’s songwriting speaks of essential matters, stories we must hold close. Shoreline, the title track of his forthcoming album, imagines life in a world shaped by climate change, telling human stories in real or imagined landscapes.
Joy, tragedy, despair and hope intertwine, the songs carry quiet but powerful messages : press play!
