Vili V

In Daddy's Arms Again  digital

(Self-issued)




Uninitiates should know that Vili V is a singer-songwriter who often devotes himself to subdued human studies. A forthright balladeer and gentle strummer, he delineates conditions compassionately.

But that is only one aspect; to convey it alone would leave a misleading representation.

"Constellation High" handily illustrates another, more vivacious facet. Joyousness spreads wide and enwraps all within listening field. Between handclaps and Rockabilly accented rumbustiousness that recalls Elvis's Viva Las Vegas season, high stepping is the merry result. 

As integral to the song as its rollicking momentum, though, is an inspirational message that elevates it above entertainment. The singer's rapture as he anticipates spiritual consequence radiates spectacularly: "I'll be a better man when I reach that Promised Land!"

Recommended: "Tupelo Rhythm," "Garden of Comfort," "Long Lonesome Highway," "Constellation High," "Trystan In the Rain"
