The Kindly Ravens – Silver and Gold (2021)

Love is an emotion that some of us take for granted as it is woven into many aspects of our lives. The Kindly Ravens are here to remind up about how precious love is and that we all need to take care of it when we have it. Through the acoustic tones of their debut single ‘Silver and Gold’, they warm your heart and fill you with affection.

Cassi Marie and Steve Boom are the duo behind this reminder about the precious nature of love. They met through a mutual friend who suggested they co-write some songs and this was their first touching creation. Using their mutually loved Americana style, they are working on a debut album and woven with their distinct sound.



‘Silver and Gold’ opens with Marie’s vocals that have a delightful Americana twang to them. Her soothing vocals ease you into the single and place an ember of affection in your chest. Through her performance, you are filled with a deep love for another and an understanding of how precious this emotion is. This is enhanced by the vocals and the lyrics that detail the care taken with this love to keep it strong. Her vocals are so touching and make you smile while thinking about the people you love.

Beneath her tender tones is a melody that blends Americana, country and folk. The acoustic instrumentation is earthy and has you sinking into the grass of a sun strewn meadow. The strings that float from the background are a gentle cushion that you easily rest on while the gentle music washes over you. There is no way that you can listen to this single and not feel at peace by the end. Through the movement of the music and the vocals, you are filled with the desire to strengthen the affection you hold for others.

The Kindly Ravens fill you with warm affection and the precious nature of love in ‘Silver and Gold’. The tender tones of the melody wrap around the warm vocals to sink into your skin. The vocals and lyrics fill you with affection while touching on the tender nature of this emotion and how we need to fortify it when we have it.
