It’s hard not to get swooped by feelings when listening to ‘White Bird’. You see, the song is as mellow and gentle as it could be, offering a slice of emotional resilience and acceptance, a healing message that we are confident will inspire many people out there. Built over a cinematic, gentle arrangement, the track features a celestial harp, evocative choir-like harmonies and the majestic tone of Claudia Balla, the Swiss songstress behind such a powerful record.
Balla pens a masterpiece here, showcasing both songwriting prowess and the most amazing vocal technique. Her bucolic, enchanting tone resembles the North Star, by guiding the listener through the song with a firm hand and an open heart. A series of sonic textures complement the record perfectly, allowing Claudia to shine the brightest.
Lyrically, ‘White Bird’ accepts the notion of a fragile dove as a mystical figure of love and charisma, while reiterating its hidden strong character. As Balla explains: “Although one might believe that this creature is tender and gentle, it can break even the strongest person”.
