Review
"Sunday In Heaven" by Zella Day is truly a journey of emotions and experiences! Released in 2022, this album fabulously showcases how she's grown as a singer-songwriter, and it's clear from the first track to the last. The vivid songwriting brings her memories and life experiences to the forefront, painting scenes that stay with you. With a mix of influences ranging from country to disco, and top-notch production from the likes of Jay Joyce, Alex Casnoff, and John Velasquez, the album feels fresh and electrifying.
Kicking off with the lead single "Dance for Love," you're greeted with infectious, disco-inspired vibes that make you want to move, and Zella's inviting vocals make it easy to hit repeat. "Radio Silence" is another standout—it's a powerful tune grappling with tough themes like reproductive rights, inspired by Zella's own experience with an ectopic pregnancy. Then there's "Golden," which brings an uplifting and hopeful energy, offering a glimmer of joy amidst tough times. Wrapping it up is the title track "Sunday In Heaven," a hauntingly beautiful piece that pulls you into its serene and solemn atmosphere.
Zella’s impassioned vocals and laser-focus on her lyrical details create a liberating experience as you listen. Critics have sung praises for this bold, stirring, and genuine project, highlighting Day’s impressive progress in her craft. If you're into thoughtful and progressive storytelling through music, "Sunday In Heaven" is a must-listen! - Ava
