Drawing us with an intricate acoustic guitar performance and atmospheric vocals, Laura Da Sousa opens Dark Moon with a charismatic presence as she sings, “Dark dark moon, you come in like an old familiar tune, the darkness fills my room…”
The ode to our lunar satellite expands with connected lyricism, howling harmonies and a stunning strings arrangement accompanying the star as she shares her conscious soul, inviting us to honour the celestial orb in unison with her. What immediately attracted us to Laura’s artistry, is that she chose to release the song today, on a 666 numerological date for abundance (6.6.24), and the Gemini new moon. This is the type of artistry that we live for.
As for the song, it’s hypnotic, with the addition of cerebral and astral electronica during the spiritually transformative finale, there is no doubt that Laura Da Sousa is an artist tapped into a divine frequency, on Earth to share her expansive nature. We learn that the track was inspired by classic country artists like Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash, but there is no doubt that Laura is manifesting a universe of her own.
It is no surprise that Laura’s previous release, Peek, was highly praised by press, highlighting its emotive vocals and warm production. Her career is quickly rising, marked by appearances on BBC Introducing and performances with artists like Bronwynne Brent and Tim Grimm.
Laura Da Sousa is a gifted singer-songwriter, who possesses the extraordinary ability to silence a room with her captivating presence. With each note she sings, she weaves a spellbinding tapestry of raw emotion and lyrical beauty, drawing her audience into an intimate world where every word resonates deeply.
Her voice, a blend of haunting vulnerability and powerful clarity, creates an atmosphere where time seems to stand still, and listeners are left breathless, hanging on to every phrase. Whether performing in a crowded venue or a cozy coffeehouse, Laura’s music has an undeniable presence, transforming any space into a sanctuary of profound musical connection.
