Poetic Beauty and Changing Perspectives October 22, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Even as the first notes melt into your consciousness you may feel yourself taking a deep breath and relaxing into the mood. What a stunning start to a poetic album. "I want to love with an open heart," gives me shivers. The honesty of the lyrics and the beauty of India Aire's voice continues into the second song. I like her attitude and how she puts her foot down on conflict and stands up for herself. There is sadness but a sense of renewal.
Good Mourning sounds like a sleepy morning with a record playing in the background. It takes a while to take off and then gets downright sensual. She is working through feelings and you can feel her releasing the pain. "good morning independence or is it loneliness."
Like a dark night of the soul, her music explores a relationship that is falling apart. Did destiny get in the way or is she following her heart? Does she need pain as a muse to create her music? Like any true artist she seems to be creating even when in conflict.
In Wings of Forgiveness she admits she is still in love. Whatever will happen next? She seems to be awakening to her own inner knowledge. "You are only human..." She reaches such a beautiful poetic moment on the album. I like how she "makes peace with her complexity."
One of the most intellectual and emotionally satisfying poetic explorations within sound I've heard lately. She seems wise beyond her years and is open to learning from life's mistakes. Not only does this album have moments of soul stirring beauty, it is fun to listen to for the surprises and story that seems to flow through the songs.
