From the opening moments of Abby Diamond's 'Sorceress' EP, the listener is catapulted into another world that drowns the sound of everything around. Premiering today on Odyssey, the EP hears the New Orleans songstress lay her spellbinding vocal capabilities on top of a production that is nothing short of mystical.
The Jazz vocalist introduces us to the ethereal project with "There's A Light In The Room" whose R&B-meets-electronic composition finds its footing in a myriad of experimental sounds creating an incredibly rich soundscape. Moving deeper into the six track project that is co-produced by Blue Hawaii, stand out tracks "yes my heart is open, no you can't come in" and "Good" showcase Diamond's delivery which balances between both featherweight vocal trills and chill-induing vibrato.
After listening to this project, it comes of little surprise that Diamond has been tapped by artists including Dr.Dre, Neon Indian, Gryffin, Mystery Skulls, French Horn Rebellion, and Hoodie Allen. Keep a close eye on this incredible vocalist, composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist as her journey seems to only have just begun.
"Sorcery is the art of creating in the world what you see in your head. This record came together as a concept project broken into two parts, an EP (co-produced by Blue Hawaii) and a feminist coffee table art book. Together, they are a sonic and visual illustration of some of the things I've been thinking about for the last two years. A depiction of how I grapple with what it means to be a woman in my body."
