Listen to Bloom Where You Fall
The inimitable singer-songwriter Hana Zara is aligned with the artistry of Kelly Mulhollan for these 7 very intimate and captivating tracks.
“Our Work Here Is Not Done” starts the listen with warm, pretty singing alongside the soothing, nearly lullaby feel of the guitar, and “Tatterhood” follows with an orchestral feel, as much gratitude flows from the sincere vocals.
Further along, the dreamy mood of “Little Fires” carries some ambience in the bare folk climate, while “Subtle Hand” isn’t short on melody via the romantic spirit of the heartfelt album highlight.
The last track, “Time Irreverant”, impresses us with its haunting demeanor, powerful balladry and poetic storytelling that emits gorgeous singing and rich musicianship.
Zara’s perspective on the world is refreshing, and her songs embrace all the hallmarks of folk music that will always be relevant and, in this case at least, touching and relatable.
