Megan Dixon Hood - The Wishing Tree

Read full review & listen on Grotesqualizer.

UK singer-songwriter Megan Dixon Hood returns with an ever-lasting message in her new, powerful single, “The Wishing Tree.”

Following a silent beauty of last year's EP, “Tales From The North,” Megan Dixon Hood has written one of her most important songs, a magical and lively anthem. There’s a dendritic and trembling art pop flexibility, thick electronica, and impeccable, assertive vocal lines, which the artist boldly fixes and unites all the dynamics with. “The Wishing Tree” is a parable warning. The lyrics, written from the perspectives of a tree and a greedy man, don’t contain anything ostensible. It feels like Megan sees the very essence, really experiencing and responding to pain. “Do not cut me down” - words delivered piercingly and effectively.
