A few months ago I reviewed Tiffany Thompson’s beautiful self-titled release. While she’s been performing at numerous locations in the D.C. area, this Saturday marks her debut New York performance at Rockwood Music Hall’s Stage 1 at 6 p.m. With warm vocals and inspirational lyrics, she is without a doubt an artist to watch.
Late last year, Thompson filmed a music video for “Till That Day Comes,” a striking ballad that showcases her emotional vocals and lyrics. Reminiscent to that of Colbie Caillat and Priscilla Ahn, her voice is comforting as she tells a tale of a hopeless romantic. “So I close my eyes and pray one more time/That the day would come when I’d find someone/Who will hold me close oh and love me more than I’ve known before.”
A relatable track, Thomspon writes, “No matter how content I am with being single; there are still moments—however rare—when I long to be in a relationship. And, I’d love for that man to be sitting in the chair next to me. However, as I wrote this song and entered into the emotions of longing, dreaming, and a bit of loneliness, I kept remembering the truths that root and guide me.”
It’s her honest lyrics and openness that make her stand out. Taking the DIY approach, Thompson is taking this year to completely focus on her music and pursue her dream.
“Writing honest, personal lyrics that will be brought to life by the clarity and melodic charm of vocals and pop instrumentation is my dream. In my songs, I seek to engage life on a very personal level and sing stories about longing after lost love, comforting hurting friends, and being there when it matters most. Call it, my other self-education. My songs articulate the everyday struggles of loneliness, loss and love, but all the while looking with a hopeful eye toward the future,” she writes on her website.
And that she does. Watch her video for “Till That Day Comes” below and visit her website for more music. Be sure to catch her live this Saturday at Rockwood. For a free download of “Till That Day Comes” click here.
