HALIENE places her lyrical and vocal artistry on its most complete show but on her debut album HEAVENLY, a mission that finds the singer-songwriter unapologetically standing in her energy. Lyrically, the LP bleeds with the rawness and poignancy that comes with confronting “topics that trigger us to query and wrestle with our deepest nature, like vulnerability, discovering power in fragility, grief and loss, forgiveness, transformation, unconditional love, instinct, and connections that appear to transcend time and plans of existence,” says HALIENE. There isn’t a eschewing of emotion on HEAVENLY; it aches when it must, however from these experiences come readability and ultimately, power. HALIENE traces this vault in a poetic vogue throughout HEAVENLY‘s 12 tracks, although it’s price noting that not all of them are sung. The LP’s intro and outro are monologues that conceptually set the scene and shut it, respectively, and its penultimate quantity, “Metamorphosis,” with Markus Schulz, is totally instrumental. Schulz is one in all two artists to function on the album, the second being Amidy, who works alongside HALIENE on their beforehand launched single, “Parachute.”
HEAVENLY fittingly finds a house on Tiësto‘s Black Gap Recordings. Laden with supple, emotive melodies, a lot of which flirt with parts of hint, a style with which HALIENE has lengthy aligned her sound, HEAVENLY may be streamed under.
