If you’re craving the unique blend of a 1930s bluesy jazz club with a modern twist, Heather Ferguson’s latest single, “Fly to Me,” is perfect. This contemporary classic masterfully intertwines nostalgia with a modern jazz piece, featuring a sultry, flashy instrumental and Ferguson’s raspy, deep-toned vocals. The result is a track that’s bound to ignite the listener’s interest.
“Fly to Me” opens on a solid note–with a bluesy, tango-esque instrumental. The upbeat, colorful instrumental flawlessly plays in the background while Ferguson’s angelic vocals arrive, repeating the lyrics “Tomorrow is promised to no one; yet I make this promise to you, through all your tomorrows I’ll love you” throughout. This sweet sentiment creates a calming and comforting factor to the track. While “Fly to Me” may initially seem like a romantic love song, it’s actually a deeply personal creation from Ferguson’s heart. She penned this song in 2021, before the birth of her grandson, Wren, to express her unconditional love for him. The song delves into the profound love and bond between two individuals, and it’s a beautiful ode to the bond between a parent, grandparent, or child.
Heather herself says, “Imagine a time when your child is all grown up—traveling and exploring the world—now coming back to you. Every parent can relate to sending their child off into the world for the very first time for school, travel, or even just a Saturday night party and waiting impatiently for them to return. This song is about the moment when you know your child is returning, maybe not for long, but after their first big foray into the world.” This beautiful sentiment is highlighted within “Fly to Me”.
‘Fly to Me’ is a collaborative masterpiece featuring Attila Fias on the keyboard, Scott White on bass, Damian Graham on drums, Miguelito Valdes on flugelhorn/congas, and Ryan Oliver on tenor sax. Attila Fias’s arrangement is a standout, while Wynn Gogol of 1 Ton Studios handled the production and engineering. Their collective efforts have brought “Fly to Me” to life, now available on major music streaming platforms.
