Pekky Savan – Glad I Found You (2021)

After being single for long enough or moving from one complicated relationship to another, you can start to think that you are not destined for love. This is something that Pekky Savan understands but wants to rid everyone of in her single ‘Glad I Found You’. A change from her usual fare, the single is all about accepting that you are worthy of all the love you want and to not give up on finding it.

Inspired by her own experience of finding love when she least expected it, the track is personal yet universal. With uplifting vibes, Savan brings her wonderful blend of folk-pop to your ears while giving you hope for love in the future. Recorded a year after she wrote it, the track merges her influences with experiences that we can all relate to on some level.



‘Glad I Found You’ flows through you with the slide of an acoustic guitar. The lush soundscape is so soft and rich that you can’t help but sink into it. The light pastel colours of the melody are uplifting and fill your soul with embers of affection and warmth. When the drums come in, they bring a forward momentum to the soft flows of the melody. Each layer of sound adds to the plush feeling of the melody which makes you sink even further. While soft and tender, there is an emotional vulnerability woven into the melody that plucks at your heartstrings.

Savan’s vocals are like the sun creeping over the horizon painting the sky with gentle pinks and oranges as the day dawns. Through her performance, you can feel a blossoming of emotion that is vibrant and warming. The lyrics put a smile on your face as you are wrapped in the glittering tones of love and affection that fills every part of your spirit. As you listen to the track, you do feel a yearning for the emotion she has woven into each word. While there is a warmth of love returned, Savan also touches on the insecurities that have prevented this from happening in the past while chasing these feelings away. This leaves you with a light feeling for the future.

Pekky Savan has you sinking in the rich warmth of her sound while bringing hope for the future in ‘Glad I Found You’. A tender love song, it fills you with the glowing embers of affection while letting you know that you are worthy of this love as well. A path to a stronger future, the track is touching and wonderful.
