I’ve been an on-and-off fan of Leif Vollebekk ever since his [La Blogothèque version of Cairo Blues,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC5rLU6%5FnkA&ref=musicsavage.com) (click that link, trust) but between then and now, nothing has grabbed me the way the first single off of his upcoming album *Twin Solitude* has grabbed me. I simply can not shake this tune from my brain.

With his work at times reminiscent of Ryan Adams (one of my all-time favorite singer-songwriters,) I’m always drawn to listen to his work, however, this song—instrumentally at least—seems a bit of a departure for the Canadian troubadour. “Elegy” hits listeners with sparse instrumentation composed mainly of piano backed by bass, minimal percussion, and a few orchestral string hits. All while Vollebekk delivers lyrics that feel more like a syncopated confession than a song being delivered for entertainment.

It’ll grab you right by the feels.

*Twin Solitude* drops 2/24/17, and if this track is any indication, you should go ahead and [pre-order right now](http://smarturl.it/TwinS%5FAll?ref=musicsavage.com).
