Aptly released on the date of the new moon, solar eclipse, and setting the tone with a captivating saxophone riff, Anoush opens Brave Girl with situational, metaphorical prose and a mesmerizing vocal timbre. Needless to say, we are completely captivated.
The opus expands with a jazz-pop adjacent energy and the memorable hook, “She’s a Brave Girl, just trying to save the world, talking about Jesus, in the house of hell…” We appreciate the intentional nature of Anoush‘s lyricism, and the poetic prowess that she delivers with her cohesive message of “awakening and self-discovery”.
We connect with Anoush‘s range, and the assertive, empowering and evocative themes that she brings to life with Brave Girl. The powerful lyrics and moody production instils a sense of confidence, motivation, and resilience. By immersing ourselves in the introspective and empowering message of the song, we feel inspired to overcome our own challenges, and embrace our inner strength.
We learn that Anoush is a classically trained artist, and this certainly comes though in her genre expansive style, blending jazz and pop elements. The star confesses that Brave Girl “delves into existential concepts, drawing inspiration from Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and the narrative of Adam & Eve from Genesis, before culminating in a poignant reflection on the pursuit of truth that challenges perception.”
Brave Girl is also designed to serve as a compelling prelude to Anoush’s upcoming album, which offers “a sonic journey for listeners navigating their own spiritual paths.” We love the intentional manner in which the star creates, and have added Brave Girl to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well as our brand new TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Anoush‘s wider discography, including her album, ONE, and anticipate future releases from the visionary creator.
