AP Track Review
Alternative singer-songwriter FERGUS based in London by way of Cambridge, England pushes intimate revelations on the dreamy acoustic folk version of Not Enough. The acoustic phrasings are up close with what sounds like interplay between other string instruments. As the song progresses the vocal harmonies build. FERGUS' lead vox are up close and personal too and when all these components weave into a thick, dense musical fabric, it wraps around you in an almost claustrophobic way creating tension with a lot of beautiful emotional weight.
“This song is still about acknowledging the mismatch morally in a relationship. The lyrics are dripping with resentment and bitter disappointment, but there’s a stillness that takes the track to a genuine place of acceptance."
