It's been over two years since Daisy Mallory put out her last project. This Side of Town, her latest EP, was an almost flawless EP, highlighting Mallory's smooth vocals and strong songwriting, and varying in sound from song to song, showing Mallory's versatility as an artist. Mallory, does however continue to post demos of the songs she's been writing on SoundCloud, but it's been a minute since she's posted something there as well. But now Mallory is back on SoundCloud, and recently posted an acoustic track titled "Okay."
"I don't know what's beyond today, but I know I'll be okay," Mallory croons on this bittersweet, but hopeful track. The song alludes to being about the aftermath of a breakup (with the line, "this broken heart's gonna fall in love"), but whether that was the intention or not, this song is perfect for anyone starting a new chapter in their life. If it's moving on with your life after a bad break up, or going off to college, or moving to a new city, "Okay" masterfully puts together all the emotions that come with stepping into the unknown, and living.
Mallory continues to impress not only as a singer, but as a songwriter. With this song, she aims for simplicity, with a two-lined chorus and a simplistic production (although we may get a more fully produced version of this song in the future?). But even with that simplicity, the writing is top-tier, and the story is well developed. Mallory is fabulous at putting together specific situations and painting a scene, like she does so well in the 2014 track "This Side of Town." And she's great at crafting infectious hooks, as she does in "Broken Things." But she's also amazing at taking the most human feelings, and putting them on paper in a way that connect to anyone that listens. There's no glitz or glamour in this song. It's just Mallory, an acoustic guitar, and her words. And with that, Mallory shines.
