(2021) Snowpoet - Wait for Me


Review:
Wait for Me is the compelling new album by Irish vocalist and lyricist Lauren Kinsella and producer Chris Hyson. The London based songwriters have composed a truly captivating piece of work featuring storytelling at its core. Since the release of their first EP six years ago, they have been shaping their unique sound with a series of successful releases with each release seeing the group explore and expand within genre-fluid musical territories. Their third studio album suggests a deepening and maturity in the group’s sound and it is with this new release that the group shall connect further with audiences and fans worldwide. Wait For Me is a mantra evocation to explore the deeper questions of how we love, how we accept our faults and how we let go in a time of profound confusion. With a lyrical buoyancy echoed in both the music and text, Wait For Me offers protection and solace, advocating openness to adversity and a way to safely navigate great change. In a bold, flowing statement of self-identity, Snowpoet have produced a unique sonic experience in a style all their own. Their attention to every nuanced musical detail is precise culminating in an all-encompassing and inspiring work that celebrates their most definitive and creative album to date. They wear their influences lightly and with impeccable taste they weave their signature and evocative hook-like melodies, rich harmonic movements, flutters of emotive sung-spoken singing and thick, rich production to create an album that suggests repeated listening. As we move through intensely adverse times, creative and artistic freedom is paramount . With Wait for Me, Snowpoet’s music celebrates two like-minded souls that shine in a defining statement of the power of music, of creativity and of collaborative expression to demonstrate what is truly good about the world. This is genre-less creativity, boundless story-telling and open collaboration in its purest and most authentic form. It is truly beautiful.
