Introduced by an elegant and solemn muted trumpet, ‘Brave Girl’ slowly develops over a soul and jazz-flavoured, groovy beat, pretty sassy and luscious. Anoush’s evocative vocals are the sole centre of attention here. With her dynamic, hypnotising tone, the talented American songstress takes the listeners on a journey around poignancy and self-reflection, also exuding a certain retro flair.
Anoush’s classical training is particularly evident here; her presence and artistic aura are rather majestic and blissful, really mesmerising us in a positive sense. One could easily see a cinematic quality in ‘Brave Girl’; steeped in challenging storytelling, the record provides a magical and rewarding listening experience, one we won’t be forgetting anytime soon.
Refrain from commercial stylings and trends, Anoush pursues her own vibrant, quirky path, a choice that’s certainly paying off – especially taking into account her musical prowess. Delving into ‘Brave Girl’, she explains: “It’s inspired by Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and the narrative of Adam & Eve from Genesis, before culminating in a poignant reflection on the pursuit of truth that challenges perception”.
