Setting the frequency with a pulsing bass, synths and a rising texture, Genevieve Sovereign opens her debut EP, It’s yours., with the introspective lyrics “I looked ahead through the crowd today, all I could see was more the same…”
The visionary rising artist has created an entire universe for It’s yours., and we are already hypnotized by the first song from the EP, Savouring Today, which even has it’s own high concept and visually astounding lyric video.
Genevieve Sovereign has created a commentary on society, the world we live in and the mysteries of the cosmos, and brought it to life with an exquisite soundscape and cerebral lyricism that has us fully immersed.
The five track EP from the Melbourne based artist also completes a year-long vlogging adventure to allow us to get more intimate with the artist.
Genevieve Sovereign explains, “I knew this would be a massive and eventful journey, and I was starting at the tiniest baby steps – just learning how to sing and write songs and use a DAW. But I knew too that progress would build faster than expected in many ways, if I kept working hard. So I began this vlog as a motivating way to stay keen and aware of my own growth. It’s been hugely valuable as a learning aid, and also as a series of time capsules.”
We’re grateful for this historic documentation of music creation and are equally moved by the instrumental second track from the EP, called Right Here which opens with celestial synth textures fused with a flute. The track has us in another dimension, which is a noted intention from the visual. lyrical and sonic universe that Genevieve Sovereign has created.
The third track from the EP is the magnetic We’ll Know Nothing Together, where Genevieve sings, “so what do you think are you ready to roll? let’s strap ourselves in…” as she takes us on a conceptual journey of life, love and the awareness that we know nothing for certain in this reality.
Double Flat is the fourth track from the record which opens with ancient tones, bold drums and a mysterious flute. The soundscape of the track sends us back in time to ancient civilisations and beyond, a sentiment that can be so rare in music these days and something we are grateful to Genevieve for!
The final track on the record is called I Reach, and features a dramatic bass line whilst we are mesmerised by folky high notes and the return of the enigmatic flute. Genevieve profoundly sings, “I struggle to shake every message that flows, far beyond me for it’s meaning….”
We are particularly obsessed with the cosmic and universal themes of the record which was recorded and mixed at Black Lodge Studios by veteran audio engineer Joel Taylor.
Genevieve Sovereign elaborates, “I believe we each bring our own unique potential into this world, with every moment of our lives an expression of limitless possibility. My music’s purpose is to help people rediscover themselves and (re)create in loving authenticity with every breath.”
Savouring Today has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and we cannot wait to hear the rising artist’s full length album that Genevieve Sovereign is currently planning!
