Review
"drowning" by Jessie Murph is a sonic journey that explores the intricacies of the human psyche, weaving together threads of sorrow and strength. In just under 30 minutes, Murph invites us into her world, baring her soul across 11 tracks that feel like whispered confessions in the dark. The album's raw honesty is both its sword and shield, cutting through the facade of everyday pleasantries to reveal the tender underbelly of existence.
Murph's voice carries the weight of her experiences, each note tinged with a bittersweet quality that speaks volumes about the duality of human emotion. The melodies dance on the edge of melancholy, creating a haunting backdrop for lyrics that read like torn pages from a secret diary. Yet, amidst the shadows, there's a glimmer of light - a quiet resilience that pulses through the music like a heartbeat.
This album isn't just about drowning; it's about learning to swim in the choppy waters of life. Murph has crafted a work that serves as both a mirror and a lifeline, reflecting our own struggles back at us while offering a hand to hold in the darkness. "drowning" is a testament to the power of vulnerability, reminding us that even in our lowest moments, we are not alone. - Harper
