Alexa Lash gets vulnerable on expressive EP, "Heartbreak in Movements"
Putting her expressive and downright chill-invoking vocals on display, Alexa Lash has floored us on her newest EP, Heartbreak in Movements. Read on as we take a closer look into the record, as well as a much needed background on this artist.
Miami born singer and songwriter Alexa Lash has once again proved her talent with her latest EP, Heartbreak in Movements. This collection of songs has a sense of purity that is rare in the digitally-charged world of music today. With a focus on exemplary and innovative instrumentation plus its neverending raw emotion, Lash takes listeners on a journey through the major feelings associated with heartbreak. Absolutely, we’re quite excited for everyone out there to give this a close and focused listen.
The EP is structured around five distinct movements, each one exploring a different aspect of heartbreak. From the disappointment and questioning of the opening track, to the release and reminiscence of the closing track, Lash covers the full spectrum of emotions that come with the end of a relationship. One of the standout aspects of the album has to be the instrumentation. The piano and strings were recorded in an open room, giving the music a natural and organic feel. Lash's vocals are also a highlight, with her heartfelt delivery adding an extra layer of emotion to each track.
Despite the stripped-down production, the EP never feels lacking in depth or complexity. Lash's songwriting is top-notch, with each track showcasing her ability to capture the nuances of human emotion in a way that feels both relatable and personal. Lash is joined on the EP by two local Miami musicians, Belinda Stohner on violin and Jose Pradas on cello, who provide complex string sections that complement Lash's piano and vocals perfectly. Though we think her vocals would still be electrifying without them, it was a perfect stylistic choice to go that extra mile. Each song is a real adventure and hooks you consistently as well.
Overall, Heartbreak in Movements is a powerful and resonant EP that showcases Alexa Lash's talents as a completely well rounded musician. Once again, we’re excited for everyone out there to listen so please go ahead and click those links below to enjoy, follow along, and of course to keep up with all future releases and information.
