An astonishing vocal triumph, “2 Years” channels raw emotion into something transcendent and unforgettable.
We experienced the amazing and astoundingly talented artist, Simone Eversdijk, and her latest release, “2 Years,” and it’s an incredibly moving yet heartbreaking performance that leaves a lasting impression, one powerful enough that we felt compelled to share it immediately with our audience.
The opening of “2 Years” is disarmingly gentle and gorgeously understated. The fusion of piano and saxophone sets the stage in a way that feels both intimate and cinematic. The delicate, cascading piano notes carry a mournful tone, yet there's an alluring shimmer to them that draws you in with quiet urgency. Layered over that, the saxophone enters with extended, aching tones that feel like a voice calling out through silence. There’s a softness to its presence, yet a haunting resonance that seems to echo between the spaces in the piano. The interplay between these instruments is remarkable, weaving together a soundscape that’s not only distinctive but feels entirely singular. In today’s oversaturated musical landscape, it’s increasingly rare to encounter a composition that stops you in your tracks. This one does, and then some.
As the arrangement deepens and swells with emotion, it paves the way for Simone Eversdijk’s vocal entrance, which is nothing short of breathtaking. From her first note, she commands the space with the presence of a seasoned performer and the nuance of someone who has lived every line. What makes this moment so striking is how effortlessly Simone seems to part the curtain between performer and listener, stepping into the spotlight not just to be seen but to be felt. Her delivery is raw and measured, and her voice becomes the anchor of this unfolding narrative. We hear her sing:
“I wake up every morning / reach out to call your name / but you’re not there to answer me / it never feels the same,”
-and it’s not just a lyric, it’s an invocation of grief.
Simone’s control and vocal intuition are what elevate this performance from emotive to unforgettable. There’s a deep intentionality in how she shapes every note and phrase, making each word land with emotional weight. You feel her loss, not as an observer, but as someone momentarily pulled into the gravity of her world. Knowing this song stems from the death of a maternal figure gives context to its emotional force, but it’s Simone’s ability to universalize that grief that makes the track resonate so powerfully. The lyric “It’s been 2 years since you left me” isn’t just a timestamp; it’s a revelation, a stark reminder of how time dulls nothing when it comes to loss. When delivered with Simone’s vulnerable, soaring voice, it becomes a release, a reckoning, and a reckoning that demands emotional response.
Building on that emotional impact, her vocal performance throughout continues to elevate the experience. She doesn’t just sing the melody, she inhabits it, gliding across the musical terrain with grace and purpose. Her embellishments are artfully placed, intentional, and often turn syllables into moments of reflection. The production rises with her, giving space when needed and building toward a sweeping climax that fulfills the emotional arc with clarity and impact. In those final moments, where voice and arrangement meet in full bloom, it’s obvious: this is an artist operating at a caliber ready for major recognition.
The production itself reflects the same level of artistry, delivering a crystal-clear mix that expertly places Simone’s vocals at the forefront while allowing the instrumental elements to shine with equal clarity and purpose. Every detail, from the warm, expressive saxophone to the shimmering piano, feels intentional and finely balanced. The engineering brings a sense of space and depth that enhances the emotional resonance of the track, making each component feel alive within the mix. It’s a refined, immersive soundscape that doesn’t just complement the performance but elevates it, resulting in a seamless, emotionally engaging listening experience.
Simone Eversdijk has crafted a performance that doesn’t just showcase vocal skill but artistic vision, emotional honesty, and technical finesse. It’s the type of song that doesn't just resonate, it stays with you.
