Avaraj releases a tender EP, โPrecious Memories EP,โ grieving her late grandmother, who battled Alzheimerโs. With a focus on reflection, vulnerability, and the enduring impact of memories, the 5-track EP navigates themes of love, loss, and the unbreakable bond between generations.
โPrecious Memories Introโ opens the EP with a spoken word piece showcasing Avarajโs soul-stirring performance, accompanied by a soft and contemplative piano. The lyrics express the pain and longing for shared moments and memories with her late grandmother. The rapping of the spoken word verses is clear, vulnerable, open, and transparent. Avaraj conveys her gratitude to her grandmother, willing to know all about her difficulties. The drums begin pounding halfway to show the increasing intensity and commitment of the singerโs deep passion to help her no matter how hard it is.
โWhat Would Changeโ is an intriguing track that creates an intriguing soundscape amidst the melancholy. Avaraj seamlessly blends R&B and rap elements over gentle piano keys. Through the track, Avaraj questions her late grandfather if his presence during her grandmotherโs last days could have made a difference.
The final track, โWonโt Forget Her,โ takes a straightforward and honest approach to storytelling. Avaraj delves into the challenges of dementia and how it affects everyone who knows the person.
While โPrecious Memories EPโ is deeply personal to Avaraj, its themes of love, loss, and the impact of memory loss resonate universally.
