Arizonian natives BBgail and Weston Smith are excited to share their new single, “if you let it,” with the world. The new track, to be released on November 14 with an accompanying music video, will serve as the duo’s debut on Fort Lowell Records. BBgail and Smith’s fresh release displays a unique blend of electronic trance-inducing synths paired with an eloquent saxophone. The visual, featured here on The Big Takeover, feeds into the fanciful nature of the song with its candid and scenic shots.

Not every song has to be a lyrical masterclass that demonstrates adept storytelling or triple entendre; sometimes all one needs is a single line that encapsulates a meaningful message. That’s exactly what BBgail employs on the duo’s upcoming jazztronica-esque track. “Life only happens to you if you let it” is the single line that is repeated throughout the composition. She reveals that the lyric was conceived as a result of “…doing a lot of shadow work and tearing down walls that keep me from living a life that feels fruitful to me…” The Phoenix duo’s offering proves to be a gift that keeps on giving if one is willing to put in the effort and reflect on the deeper meanings within the art.

BBgail took to Germany to shoot footage for the music video. The visual is a testament to her many growing pains throughout life. She had something to say when asked about how fans should receive the artists’ music: “For so long I’ve struggled with what other people think of me, letting that dictate my day-to-day decisions. I’m finally starting to put into practice the art of living life for myself.” With this unfettered perspective in mind, what once might’ve been a compilation of memorable vacation moments now looks to be more of a proclamation of inner healing and personal development.

If you were ever curious as to what a Grimes and Kenny G collaboration would sound like, BBgail and Weston Smith have just the song for you.

BBgail & Weston Smith Premiere Their Heavenly Track “if you let it”

BBgail and Weston Smith, two DIY artists from Phoenix, Arizona, premiere their heavenly new track “if you let it.”

Devotion is a special, sometimes underrated quality in a musician, and BBgail has all kinds of it. Today, we are helping to debut her latest track, “if you let it,” a collaboration between her and Weston Smith, due via Fort Lowell Records on November 14th as a digital single. Soothing and original, the song ingeniously joins together many different sounds and musical styles. BBgail’s vocals feel calming and reassuring as you experience the soaring electronics of the song.

Despite her incredible talent, music is not BBgail’s only job. But it is her most important. She balances working two jobs while writing and producing her own music in the evenings, on the weekends, or whenever she gets a free slot of time. It’s the type of love that you need to really succeed at any art form, especially music. Despite her busy schedule, she is assembling an impressive collection of tracks that illustrate her amazing imagination for songwriting.

Commenting on “if you let it.” BBgail states:

“I wrote this song as a reminder to myself that life is out there waiting for me. I’m starting to realize the only thing that can hold me back from being where I want to be is myself. This song is a celebration of letting that go.”

Those are wise words that we should all be mindful of. The saxophone you hear in the song is courtesy of Smith, an artist with a special expertise in both the saxophone and synths. Both Smith and BBGail are exceptional young artists living in Phoenix, Arizona.

In “if you let it,” they find a perfect balance between Smith’s soulful sax playing and BBGail’s ethereal vocals. There’s a hypnotic element to the song that feels very positive. BBGail prides herself as an artist who is authentic and expansive. She is a true artist committed to her craft, no matter what it takes.
