A gripping debut single from Canadian singer/songwriter Marisa Finley, “Hallelujah” moves with a lush and seamless envelopment. Glimmering choral-like character and elegant piano intertwine alongside Finley’s dreamily caressing vocal presence. Also collaborating on the track is Peter Mol, a longtime friend of Finley’s who is also a venerated musician and producer.

“Once I really knew ya, I could see right through ya,” Finley lets out during the magnetic chorus, exuding a sense of powerful confidence within the realization. The introspective verses and ensuing brightness prove compelling and climactic, set artfully alongside lyrics that portray a feeling of falling in love before truly knowing someone. We’re excited to see what’s next from Finley, following this fantastic debut.
