Canada’s Basia Bulat wrote many of the songs on her sophomore album, Heart Of My Own, while touring. Some songs were influenced by the unique scenery that surrounded her as she traveled from city to city.
The changing landscape allowed Bulat to clear her mind, embrace creativity and put out a fresh album.
Basia Bulat, Heart Of My Own, due out Jan. 26.
Heart Of My Own contains folk, rock and americana influences. Bulat’s emotional voice can change from delicate and sweet, to deep and full, to quirky and jazzy in a matter of minutes. She effortlessly sings atop playful and cute tunes, a doo-wop balled, and romping, fast paced tracks.
Some songs on Heart are tiny and hollow. You can envision a listener relaxing on a secluded house’s front porch as Bulat’s music gently drifts out its front windows. Then, without notice, Bulat and her fellow musicians flood your ears with soulful choruses, swelling orchestration and rich female vocals that could fill a large stadium.
Heart Of My Own is a diverse album that any folk lover will fall head over heels for.
