Debut singles aren’t easy to get right. As an artist you only get one shot to make a first impression, and this initial impression will permeate through your whole career; regardless of the changes and evolution you undergo, how you started will never be forgotten. With this in mind, it’s great to see Jade Christina’s debut single “I’m Lucky To Walk Away” setting the bar extremely high, telling a beautiful beautiful story through the music that’s captivating from start to finish.

Probably the standout element on “I’m Lucky To Walk Away” are the lyrics, which touch on the heartbreak of opening up to someone new only to find that they aren’t the right one for you. Despite how somber that sounds, Jade sends some great positive messages throughout the song, revealing that it’s ok to fail and that it’s ok to love yourself, instead of somebody else. This acceptance of just loving oneself instead of trying to find “the one” really hits home as Jade sings “I’m lucky to walk away” in the beautifully sung chorus. Jade has been writing songs as a form of therapy for the last 20 years and this experience really shows, with poignant and poetic lines such as: “Love isn’t war, open was the door / stubborn, neither moving through”.

It’s not just the lyrics that are great here though; it is clear that much time and effort went into the instrumentation, production, and vocals, all of which play a key part in the success of the sound. Jade’s vocals here are angelic and calming, conveying with great effectiveness both the pain of heartbreak and the peace of acceptance. Beautiful piano chords accompany the vocals, setting the tone straight away and matching perfectly with the lyrical themes. The percussion is relatively simple and takes a bit of a backseat here compared to the other elements, but given the nature of the song and its heavy emphasis on vocals and lyrics this was a smart choice. The production is stellar on “I’m Lucky To Walk Away”, and is impressive for a first effort.

It’s great to see that there are still artists out there who are making genuine music that listeners can really connect to, and Jade Christina has proven herself to be a pioneer within this crowd with her excellent debut single. A song that plays out and develops much like a well written story, “I’m Lucky To Walk Away” is an absolute must listen that succeeds on every level.
