Setting the tone with a refined bassline and astral vocals, The Turning Of The Tide opens More than Bread Alone with intrigue, and the the title of the track, as she sings, “We live on more than bread alone…”, showcasing her range and intricate delivery.
The opus expands with a dimensional strings arrangement, a trip-hop energy, and philosophical depth as Lotta Karlsson, the creative mind behind, The Turning Of The Tide, conveys poetic prowess, emotional depth and wisdom with her prose.
We connect with the piano performance which creates a cohesive tapestry of sound in conjunction with The Turning Of The Tide‘s theatrical, charismatic voice. The instrumental solo is out of this world, showcasing the awesome multi-disciplinary artist’s skill on the keys, before a subversive bass drop and layered vocals take us through to a rockier, edgier reality which reminds us of Evanescence.
The Turning Of The Tide describes the composition as “a genre-crossing track that challenges societal values, blend[ing] rock, electronica, and classical influences to create a dark and thought-provoking musical journey”, and we are inclined to agree!
We learn that More than Bread Alone is designed to “challenge the notion of material possessions as a source of happiness, offering a unique and captivating listening experience bound to leave an impression.”
Fans of Mitski, Susanne Sundfør, Björk, and of course, Evanescence will be able to connect with More than Bread Alone, although it is clear that The Turning Of The Tide is creating a universe of her own.
Naturally, we have added the evocative and expansive More than Bread Alone to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we anticipate future releases from the visionary artist!
