Allison2020 shares a new single, “Big Train”

Allison2020

Allison2020 hits us with a record that is at once nostalgic in spirit and soulful in execution. “Big Train,” then, is an actual song, but it’s also a meditation on movement and memory and the forces that carry us forward even when we don’t realize it.

For me, “Big Train” is soul with a jazz brush and a groove that alternates between mellow and uplifting. It’s the rhythm of the train itself, unstoppable, insistent and weighted with history. There is a legacy in the lyrics, an acknowledgment of those who forged ahead before you, while also recognizing the quiet victories of just keeping on.

Allison2020’s singing has a lived-in quality, and an honesty that lends warmth to every rich tone. The track not only celebrates progress, it celebrates awareness, the gripping minutes we pay mind to how beautiful it is still moving, still breathing, still living.

“Big Train” is a reminder that life is in the moving and in moving we make our mark. Marrying the lush textures of soul with the improvisational spirit of jazz, Allison2020 serves up a song, grounded yet soaring. It’s the kind of record that leaves you feeling pensive, emboldened and resolute to keep on moving.
