“High & Low” is the brand new single that will be released by Irish singer-songwriter, Gemma Hayes ever since 2015. “High & Low” is the epitome of sadness and anger that results from losing someone or even yourself.
“High & Low” opens with a folky and delicate acoustic guitar introduction. Hayes’ smoky and emotive vocals then instantly grab the listener’s attention. With the use of a glottal stop in Hayes’ singing in the verses and the chorus sung in octaves, Hayes brings a sense of grief in her vocals for the entirety of the song.
The lyrics of “High & Low” express the loss of someone and yourself. For example, Hayes sings, “Am I Really Here? / Or am I floating in mid-air” in a verse. As well, “How can I come home? / When you’re not waiting for me” in the second chorus. Hayes’ well crafted lyrics are shown throughout the song.

She has completed 6 full length albums and 7 EPs in her music career. “High & Low” is the first single from her long awaited and upcoming album to be released in September 2023.
