Room of Understanding
Poco A Poco is a Spanish term which implies little by little. The project is a collection of love songs by Garey Godson that talks about the different feelings experienced in a relationship. The opener song which the project is titled "Poco A Poco '' is a sensual tune which explores the seductive prowess of the woman being sung about on this record. The mellow and atmospheric instrumentation sets a precedent for the project and is accompanied by Deja Vu. On track 2 Godson kicks off the record singing " this ain't no Deja Vu na we go rescue we" implying that for a relationship to work both parties had to be equally involved. He hints at insecurities experienced on both ends due to past traumas and reassures her that he is ready to take a chance on love again. The song is coloured by assuring lyrics and Garey's silky cadence which locks you in. The whole project is characterised by storytelling and this is evident once again on track 3 Love and Light. On this record Garey sums up the project in an RNB soulful manner, as the name love and light indicates, a lot of romance and willfulness to give love a try is evident in this song. A live guitar runs through most parts of the song and Garey is accompanied by choir-like backing vocals on the final chorus. It's a short yet memorable project, when placed side by side with his previous project "Last Songs About You" you can connect the dots and see how the artist is able to bring his audience along an emotional journey.
