Eliza Shaddad – My Body
Eliza Shaddad - My Body
Release Date: Out Now
This is the second track I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing
from Eliza Shaddad and its an understated beauty. The opening guitars and drums
of ‘My Body’ are full on lo-fi shoegaze and you might expect a half-mumbled
vocal to join in but you’d be way off. No, Shaddad has such a deeply rich and
luxuriously textured voice that the sadness with which she sings feels so authentic
and heartfelt. It’s almost as though Shaddad has dismantled the sound of
Massive Attack and then blended the component parts with Ride and a few bits of
Jeff Buckley to make a sound that is a soaring beacon of emotion in a world
that so often tries to hide its true feelings. Beauty is here if you want it.
