‘Hello Human’ is the spirit-lifting second single of the year from Toronto-based singer/songwriter Tara Van, and it’s a tune that the world needs now more than ever. Penned as an ode to the natural world and a call to be more mindful of the delicate harmony of life on earth, ‘Hello Human’ exudes an organic and sincere energy. Somehow both uplifting and grounding simultaneously, it’s a beautiful reminder of the beauty and fragility surrounding us all.
Trying to place Tara’s new track into a genre label seems pointless to be honest. Sure, it’s folky, it’s poppy, it’s quirky, but ultimately, its true charm and essence transcends conventional labels. It’s a song that doesn’t need, or deserve, to be boxed in, thriving in its own space, embracing a fluidity that captures its authentic character.
“The conveniences of our lives are not making us happier and they certainly aren’t helping the planet,” says Tara. “Staying inside on your computer and making the entire world move to our will is not the way to engage with our communities and understand how we fit into the web of life”. She’s spot on! Only by getting our hands dirty can we truly appreciate getting clean.
I’ve fallen incredibly hard for ‘Hello Human’, and get the feeling we’ll be hearing a lot more Tara Van very soon!
