Tess Posner’s EP “Alchemy” is a captivating musical journey that delves into the depths of emotions, wrapped in a package of hauntingly beautiful instrumentals and ethereal vocals. With over 3.1 million streams on Spotify and production by Rob Wells, known for his work with artists like Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, and Justin Bieber, it’s clear that Posner’s music is making a significant impact.
The EP kicks off with “Feral Child,” a mesmerizing dialogue between the listener and their inner abandoned self. The track begins with delicate piano notes that slowly draw you into the song’s narrative. As the immersive synths swell, Posner’s deep and ethereal vocals take center stage. It’s a compelling exploration of self-comfort and embracing the inner child, a theme that resonates with many who have faced abandonment issues.
Among the beautiful tracks, “Ghosts” has a special haunting quality with Posner’s contemplative piano work combined to create a truly atmospheric experience. The lyrics touch on accepting one’s demons, acknowledging the ghosts of the past that continue to linger.
“Black Cloud” takes a more vulnerable approach, beginning with a gentle and raw introduction. Here, Posner explores the process of expressing emotions that have been numbed or suppressed.
Throughout “Alchemy,” there’s a profound sense of transformation and empowerment. Posner’s lyrics poetically compare this evolution from traumas to newfound strength to an alchemical process, a beautiful metaphor that underscores the EP’s central themes. The combination of piano, synths, and strings creates a rich musical tapestry that complements the lyrical depth of the songs.
