A gifted songwriter and producer, Arily Michele is the kind of holistic creative who has spent a lifetime perfecting her craft. Making music from a young age, the talented American songstress seems to have reached an impressive peak in her artistic journey. ‘Highway Hypnosis’ is the strongest evidence of that. Written and produced by Michele herself, the record displays a level of sonic awareness and deep lyricism that’s frankly impressive.
Moving over seemingly blissful soundscapes and minimalistic beats, ‘Highway Hypnosis’ weaves a tapestry of cinematic textures and cathartic vocal harmonies, making for a truly vibrant record that’s a joy to listen to. Dreamy and prone to escapism, the album will initiate introspection and poignant reflection in any keen listeners.
Enya influences can be spotted at times, (like in ‘Finer Things’), but overall ‘Highway Hypnosis’ stays pretty modern and malleable in its aural identity. Elegant and classically infused melodies complete its public aura. Speaking about the inspiration behind it, Arily explains: “The album’s sonic texture is inspired by the snowy peaks and evergreen forests of the Rocky Mountains”. It is – in fact – a truly bucolic offering.
