There’s a certain ethereal quality to ‘Grace & Gravity’. Packed with nostalgia and melancholic lyricism, the record constantly oscillates between soothing resolution and sharp romanticism, providing an emotional rollercoaster listeners won’t be able to forget anytime soon. Through ten wonderful songs, ‘Grace & Gravity’ opens a fascinating window into the ever-evolving artistry of BlackieBlueBird, the talented duo behind the album.
Hailing from Denmark, vocalist Heidi Lindahl and composer Nils Lassen explore vintage formulas through organic instrumentation and spacious harmonies, blending retro elegance with modern sonic profiles. The record delves into folk and classic pop territories, almost resembling a much more alternative iteration of Lana Del Rey, so to speak. Lindahl’s vocals feel fragile yet intense, expressive and controlled, perfectly fitting their delicate and welcoming musical surroundings.
While the duo’s previous offerings were mainly built alongside long sounds and acoustic elements, ‘Grace & Gravity’ adds one more level of complexity, thanks to drummer Tomas Ortved (Sort Sol) lending his light and feathery grooves to the record. The result is an increase in the anthemic quality of many of the songs in it, really showcasing BlackieBlueBird’s punchier and fiercer side. There are even more emotions involved, in our opinion, a perfect pairing for such romantic and love-based lyricism.
