In All This and So Much More Tasha is an artist flung open. For Tasha, the last few years have been propulsive, dynamic, bursting at the seams. They've included painful encounters with grief; a sudden break up; new flirtation; new hair; the glitter of world travel and not least, a role in Tony-nominated Broadway musical Illinoise which adapts Sufjan Steven's Illinois for the stage. If Tell Me What You Miss The Most was an introspective meditation on love with a few moments of glancing toward what's next, All this and So Much More is Tasha turned outward, flourishing, telling us what it's like to take life by the chin and look it in the eye.All This and So Much More is a full-throated ode to all of the ups and downs of becoming. This is an album crafted with a big, ambitious sound (in part, thanks to the production of Gregory Uhlmann)-cinematic droning, orchestral woodwinds, dazzling arrays of jangling guitar, all lining up to capture a sweeping moment in Tasha's life. In All This and So Much More, Tasha asks us to consider abundance in it's truest form. Our lives, a deluge of possible experience if only we will surrender to it, all the way from the citric ache of heartbreak to the chest bloom of new adventure.
