Alyse Black
HOLD ONTO THIS
Alyse Black has an almost mystical beauty to her voice. Her phrasing curls seductively and trails off like a wisp of lover’s breath on a winter night while her pure and delicate tones enchant with the prowess of a skilled sorceress.
Tracks like “Up In The Air (Not Too Late)” and “Super Hero” display the artist’s flair for writing catchy, yet original melody lines while “Both Ways (Dream Of You)” and “B-17 Bomber Girl” show off her riveting storytelling style that is directly pulled from her own life experiences. Alyse pays incredible attention to detail in both her imagery and her performance. Her lyrical portraits will draw themselves across your mind in indelible ink and become part of your life.
“Willowing” is one of the most intense songs on the album. Black’s purring melody writhes within an exotic, swirling musical elixir as she sings about being caught “willowing.”
“‘Willowing’ came from a late night over my piano with a glass of red wine in hand,” Alyse revealed. “I think it speaks to people on a really deep level, cutting through in a very visceral way, so sensual and powerful that I . . . I can't even explain it.”
Black’s music hits with the impact of a well-timed whisper and the irresistible force of a primal urge. She has crafted a mesmerizing album that plays — quite alluringly — with light and shadows.
