into the light
I have to start my review by saying that never in my life have I heard anything quite like purelands. Her album, into the light, is the culmination of over seven years of spiritual and somatic work. purelands feels that it is her calling to create sacred music, and that love and dedication can be heard in each of the five tracks. The lyrics are repeated mantras, but each song has a distinct energy that matches the words perfectly, and keeps the listener engaged. The album utilizes expertly layered harmonies and delicate instrumentation that thoroughly envelops the senses.
purelands blends traditional instrumentation with a vocal style that I can only compare to contemporary worship music. Her vocal tone is calm, clear, and enchanting. The music is clearly influenced by multiple styles, including Latin, South Asian, and even indie. into the light was created for people to listen to while they work, meditate, heal, cry, live, etc. The music evokes emotion while also comforting and bringing the listener back to center. purelands has hit the nail on the head with this album, so be sure to visit her website and give into the light a listen.
