"Start Again" is an original ballad by Caity Gyorgy from her album Featuring, recorded in 2021. Written in the key of G with an AA' form spanning 36 bars, the tune moves at a gentle 118 beats per minute, establishing a warm, reflective mood. The recording showcases two featured soloists who each take a full chorus of improvisation. Pianist Felix Fox-Pappas goes first, his solo unfolding over nearly a minute as he explores the tune's harmonic terrain with sensitivity appropriate to the ballad tempo. Guitarist Jocelyn Gould follows on electric guitar, matching Fox-Pappas's lyrical approach with her own chorus of melodic improvisation. Gould, a Juno Award-winning guitarist known for her work across mainstream jazz and contemporary settings, brings a distinctive voice to the performance. The AA' form is a less common structural choice that gives the composition a through-composed quality, avoiding the traditional bridge section in favor of a varied reprise. At this relaxed tempo, both soloists have space to develop their ideas patiently, building lines that breathe and connect to the song's emotional core. The pairing of piano and electric guitar as the featured instruments gives the track a textural richness that distinguishes it within the album's varied lineup of guest artists.
