Meg Pfeiffer drops a heartfelt love letter on soul with "My Man"

Some songs will make you want to nod your head along, and then some songs will wrap themselves around your heart. The other, ultimately contrasting gem of the album comes in the form of Meg Pfeiffer's "My Man," a buoyant soul-infused hug that nestles into your ear long after its final somber note fades. Meg Pfeiffer's vocals on "My Man" are a moment of pause and one of those songs that become "yours" from your first listen. It is a testament to the idea that words straight from the heart, sung by an authentic voice, create magic.

Pfeiffer welcomes you into a private arena, where love is rendered in vivid hues and gentle strokes. Her voice is of the type that silences a room; mature in its delivery but with an unassailable wellspring of emotion beneath, with integrity that cannot be faked. Each phrase sounds intimate, as though she were whispering in the ear of someone for whom she truly cares, and we, by extension, are privileged to be a voyeur.

While a classic song of its time, timeless storytelling preserves the strength of "My Man," recently rebranded as "Now You Raving Mad. Pfeiffer does not just inform us about love; she lets us feel it. Her lyrics read like a love note you'd fold up and keep in your vanity for years after, safekeeping it for the moments when the world seems to have forgotten how special love can be.

The production gives her voice the perfect backdrop to get the emotion across without distractions. It feels as if the near-touch warmth of a candlelit room and every note holds her words in its palm like the steady hand on your back. And when you're forever getting too stupid to know what love is, "My Man" will remind you…that a little bit of Laura Lee still feels right.
