Drawing inspiration from her eclectic musical journey, Jo Beth Young, formerly known as Talitha Rise, intricately threads together Folk and Pop influences, channeling her inner storytelling prowess into “Wolf Song.” The track’s genesis is rooted in a poignant moment when Young penned it on a broken guitar at a friend’s house, a testament to the organic origins that often underpin the most enchanting melodies.
“Wolf Song” introduces listeners to a mysterious character, a curious wolf laden with layers of complexity.

This track, among the album’s eldest, evolved under the guidance of the talented Matt Blackie, who added a contemporary heartbeat to its ethereal soul. The fusion of acoustic origins with newfound electronic beats is a testament to Young’s artistic evolution. Jules Bangs’ bass playing further enriches the composition, while harps and dreamlike instrumentation infuse a sense of modern enchantment, rendering “Wolf Song” a musical canvas for the 21st-century fairy tale.
