The dictionary explains the word ‘Eclecticism’ as “the practice of deriving ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources.” Well, we think that such definition perfectly adapts to Anoush’s latest album, ‘One’. A twelve-track musical bonanza, the record celebrates the American songstress’s kaleidoscopic artistry by delivering meaningful and evocative songs drenched in a strong multi-genre livery. From elegant pop to playful reggae, passing through soothing jazz: there’s something for everyone in it.
Introduced by ‘Lighthouse’, the album opens in theatrical fashion, with a piece that would perfectly fit a melancholic, nostalgic musical storyline. That’s also our first contact with Anoush’s stunning vocals, so majestic and solemn, yet very malleable. ‘California Daze’ shuffles the script completely, delving into reggae and dub territories with a decisively friendly outlook.
From there on, it’s a continuous scramble into the unexpected, a journey into Anoush’s nuanced and kaleidoscopic musical qualities. Describing the lyricism behind the record, she explains: “One’ explores themes of personal and societal challenges, love, faith, and transformation, offering a profound message, inviting listeners to delve into life’s complexities.”
