Métamorphose by Aliénore: EP Review
Elegant pop music, a fusion of medieval music, and a graceful singer leading each tune—what more could one ask for? Presenting “Métamorphose,” a stellar EP composed by Aliénore, a talented French/British singer and songwriter. Her style of music is about alt-pop mixed with sounds of yesteryear, such as the inclusion of a medieval-style harp. Altogether, her music is fantastic and mysterious, too. This is because the rhythm and her voice have a rather ethereal effect, and it’s quite fascinating to hear.
The EP starts with the title track “Métamorphose,” and it’s an enchanting melody that’ll keep you engaged. A light synth plays out while Aliénore sings her heart out. She speaks through each word and gives a passionate performance worth hearing. The next number, “The Water Diviner,” brings the aforementioned medieval sounds into focus. It all feels like a wonderful melody dating back to tavern outings and bards serenading an audience of aristocrats. Aliénore’s voice has such a peaceful aura to take in, and the harps amplified that feeling. “Black Butterflies” brings a bit of a kick to the EP. It does this through a light piano piece, flute sections, a fat bass line, and beats. Speaking of the flute, it was such an interesting addition and formed a gentle bond with Aliénore’s voice and cadence.
We conclude the EP with “Salt Of The Earth.” It’s a downtempo-like track with light pop elements. The beat is intriguing, and the vocal energy is simply astounding.
