Norma J. Dean's new record, "It Will Be," is a bare, emotionally charged anthem that explores the nuances of self-defeat and the quest for self-acceptance. Set to an atmospheric soundscape and beautiful, haunting vocals, Dean takes us on an emotional journey through the pain of running from oneself. It's a sad song that vividly describes the struggle many experience to deflect the mirror, which can rob one of one's true self and strew them along the path of their shadow.
The lyrics of "It Will Be" cry out and plead to continue despite the weight of hardship. The chorus bluntly states that everyone is the master of their own fate. It's a powerful message that life changes when we hold ourselves accountable and do self-reflection. It's based on Dean's personal pondering, and as a result, it's a deeply touchy-feely listen.
The union of atmospheric instrumentation and deeply emotional delivery transforms "It Will Be" from a song to a musical discussion on conquering fear, embracing change, and pushing toward a brighter tomorrow. For all the vulnerability and sadness in the lyrics, the track is also a hopeful plea to keep moving forward. It's a reminder that even in our darkest despair, transformation is possible if we step one foot, one inch, even the smallest fraction of an inch, toward self-reflection. "It Will Be" is a testament to the role played by music in healing, comfort, pleasure, and thought. It's a gorgeous, emotional song that touches the soul very humanly.
