JILLIAN CARDARELLI FT. VINCE GILL - I'll Get Over You - Vydia

Layering the foundations of her path with an outpouring of recent singles, “Worth The Whiskey,” “I Hate Chevy’s,” “Slow Song,” and “If We Were Strangers,” singer-songwriter Jillian Cardarelli has continued to thrive in 2024 as she confidently navigates the independent music scene with a tight grip on the tag as one to watch.

Well-established and recognized for her incredible vocal prowess, she now teams up with the legendary Vince Gill on her brand-new single “I’ll Get Over You.”

Written by Jillian with Tina Parol and Patrick Murphy, the float on the breeze softness allows Cardarelli to wrap the distinctive traces of voice around the waltz infused melody, weaving a wavered tone through the lyrics as she’s desperately tries to convince herself that she’s doing okay in the aftermath of a tough breakup.

Tallying in the opening verse that it’s getting better every day, that time is flying by since their split, and that she’s not going out tonight to try and drink him off her mind, she stands face to face with the proverbial mirror that begs to ask the question, “who are you trying to convince?”

However, she eventually reveals the brokenhearted truth that someday she’ll actually get over him, trailing then a list of unachievable comparatives as to when that day will truly come as she blends her harmony with Gill’s to add the depth of male/female perspective to the strike of the chorus:

“When the sun sets in the East

And goes around the moon

When the world don’t turn

And the summer sky ain’t blue

When the stars don’t glow and Hell’s ice cold

And Dolly’s out of tune

That’s when I’ll get over you”

Lamenting in the second verse on what could have been, while still staying locked on the fractured idea that she’s doing okay, there’s confessional ebbs and flows in her voice as she unconvincingly checklists that she doesn’t remember what his lips taste like, isn’t losing sleep, and wasn’t dreaming about a ring.

Cardarelli absolutely understands the power of her voice, knowing the exact moments to lift into its emotionally fueled heartache while also finding subtly when layering a whisper into the end tones so that they enhance the honesty of the lyrics.

With a perfect blending of its instrumentation guiding the emotion while Jillian skewers her voice to match the bends of her battled innermost feelings, she delivers a song with “I’ll Get Over You” that speaks straight to the broken-hearted listener, connecting through the speakers with an understanding hug and a shoulder to lean on.
