Michelle Langone – “The Key” [Song Review]

Florida-based classically trained artist Michelle Langone releases “The Key,” a track lifted from her most recent album, From My Soul To Yours. “The Key” is a song about the freeing sensation discovered in love.

Talking about her music, Langone says, it “embodies the sound of a victorious spirit overcoming all hardship through the power of love and music.”

In high school and college, Langone won multiple awards as an operatic soprano. During the pandemic, she shared her music via social media. In 2022, Langone released her debut EP, Coming Home, followed by her 2023 EP, Interlude. Near the end of 2024, she unveiled her long-player, From My Soul To Yours, featuring “A Million Stars” and “Uncaged.”

Langone’s sound challenges categorization, blending genres, and, like an alchemist transported into the modern world, eschews the usual conventions, mixing her magical voice with innovative melodies.

Opening on low-slung, haunting tones topped by Langone’s soft, rich vocals, “The Key” segues into a gorgeous melody, evoking the glorious feeling of finding the key to life – the liberation realized through the power of love. Langone’s voice glides on exquisite tonal surfaces, imbuing the lyrics with sublime, beguiling colors.

A truly amazing chansonnier, on “The Key,” Michelle Langone displays the luxurious elegance of her Elysian voice.
