A totally unexpected EP for so many reasons. The music alone makes for something you rarely come to experience anymore. As things progress, you’re introduced to more & more intricacies & traits of the character behind it all.

There are numerous times throughout this project at which something completely surprises, really helping keep it appealing & enjoyable. This is an extremely personal, characterful album that also presents a lot of skill & thoughtfulness.
The unexpectedly haunting new single from Pauline Frechette. This dark or deeply reflective jazz aura emerges, alongside of which Pauline’s emotional performance seeks to captivate & hypnotize listeners.
It’s always interesting when you come across a musical composition that seems to, in its own artistic way, represent its concept by means of every element involved. The song underlines a sense of emotional disconnect with every fibre of its being.
The project brings back the artist’s uniquely creative approach to music production. This is the work of a composer, a musical craftsman. The sound is so crisp & real yet equally smooth & dreamlike.
It’s great that the music is able to lull you into a comforted state, you can let the good vibes of the sound pour out & be an enjoyable part of your evening. It’s a clever way to get something out there, without having it weigh down too heavily on the listener.
An intimate, free-flowing, organic folk-pop song that is joyfully calming to witness. The recording style has a raw or vintage vibe to it, enhancing that intimate feel & making this appear is if it’s being performed right there in the room with you.
There’s an inspiring sense of freedom that occasionally comes through with independent music releases, usually it’s when the artist has written & composed in a way that is, in itself, free from expectations or limits. This is the perfect example.
The track features a fairly minimalist set-up – a simple gathering of synths & sounds, a dreamlike mood that works really well in line with the songwriting.
You get a little of various genres, plus two contrasting synth riffs help make this a multi-layered rap project, adding colour & keeping things interesting.
The set up is simplistic, minimalist even. Occasionally the voice & guitar are supported by additional elements that really help brighten things up.
We need more music like this. The grit & passion remains, but there’s also a feeling of possibility, of a bright future ahead, and that’s greatly valuable.
