Nadia Reid - Enter Now Brightness - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Enter Now Brightness feels different for Nadia. It is analbum, she says, of departure and questioning, that hasreminded her how songwriting can be Inchthe most usefulthing to do with pain and joy and thoughts and feelings andanger.Inch That through music we can find great change. InchI'mso much better off now that it exists,Inchshe says. InchNow feelslike a new time.Inch On this record, Reid moves ever furtherfrom her earlier folk inclinations, establishing a sound thatis distinctly her own.Enter Now Brightness is a record of poise and greatbeauty, the sound of a cellular shift, of pain giving way totenderness and joy. It takes it's title from a passage in abook Reid was reading from a line that seemed to call outto her from the page 'Brightness entered the study.' InchItwas the image of opening the curtain, or turning the lighton, or of standing in the wings of a theatre and waiting togo on stage. It's the idea of life beginning now.InchInch[Nadia] embraces a full bodied sound halfway betweenHaim's sophisticated pop sparkle and Sharon Van Etten'sfull-throated songcraftInch - The Guardian
