Miss Freddye commands the blues with grace in the new single “Slippin' Away”

Miss Freddye is back with a new single called "Slippin' Away," which is honest, weathered, and lived-in. She is known as Pittsburgh's Lady of the Blues, and she brings all of her fame to this song, which is a slow-burning meditation on love slipping through one's fingers. This tune is the most personal kind of blues storytelling, where control and raw emotion go hand in hand.

The song builds slowly, giving emotions room to breathe. The main part of the song is Miss Freddye's voice, which has a sense of sadness and reflection that never feels forced. She lets each line of the song hang in the air, pulling the listener deeper into the pain of being apart and remembering. It feels like she's singing the song directly to the listener instead of performing it for them.

The musicians around her give her a steady, tasteful base. Mike Huston's guitar playing adds a little spirit and warmth, and Jeff Conner's keys softly change the mood. The bass by Greg Sejko and the drums by Bob Dicola keep everything together with a steady, unshowy groove that helps the song instead of competing with it. Every note feels like it was meant to be there, adding to the emotional core without getting in the way.

"Slippin' Away" is also a heartfelt tribute to the late Mike Lyzenga, which gives the song even more meaning and sincerity. That feeling of remembering makes the song more meaningful, making it feel like it speaks to everyone. Miss Freddye shows once more that the real power of the blues comes from being honest, open, and emotionally honest in "Slippin' Away." This song sticks with you long after the last note has faded.
