CW: Death, loss of a parent

Liz Bills' upcoming solo album deals with the death of her mother, so it's fitting that her latest single, "Float On," was released on June 27, the anniversary of her mother's passing. This new single is just Bills and her guitar, and it's a gorgeous and painful tribute. I don't know if her voice has ever sounded this powerful before, and as much pain as the song holds, it's also one of the more uplifting tracks of the year. "Float On" never quite reaches the upbeat, party vibe that Liz Bills & The Change typically do, but it comes surprisingly close at times. This is an important and vital song that is going to grab you right in the heart.
