'There will never be enough words to describe the feeling of losing your best friend.' Listen to G-Eazy's new song 'Angel,' a tribute to his late mother:
blurs the line between life and death on his latest single “Angel,” a tribute to his mother Suzanne Olmsted who died last year, that finds him having a conversation with a spirit from the other side in an attempt to reconnect.
“Grief can be a difficult thing to navigate,” G-Eazy shared in a statement. “It’s definitely not a linear process and it comes at you in waves. There will never be enough words to describe the feeling of losing your best friend, or the desire to see them again. In a literal sense, I tried to capture that feeling of longing in the lyrics of the song.”
On “Angel,” the rapper looks for connection everywhere he thinks it may appear: in his dreams, on the road, in fleeting messages passed through angels. “Keep searching and searching / I must be looking in the wrong places,” he delivers softly. “But tonight / I swear I never felt so close.” Devon Baldwin and Vida Simon lend background vocals on the moving single, complete with a Tim Davis-led choir and instrumentation from Goody Grace.
