The World’s Gone Up In Smoke by Johanna Dadap: Review

Johanna Dadap, a 19-year-old Filipino indie artist delivers a powerful and evocative performance in “The World’s Gone Up In Smoke”. The approach she takes in songwriting is genuine and meaningful. With a breathy vocal approach and serene acoustic melodies, Johanna’s song will calm your nerves for any adverse situation to come.

There is a very deep resonance within the song’s structure and it is evident from the progression of the guitars and pianos that have this feeling of finding yourself in a midst of a deep struggle, only to rejoice in harmony once again. Other than that, the theme of the music is quite expressive and has ties with planet Earth. Johanna is quite passionate about the environment and expresses her inspiration through a gripping melody. “The World’s Gone Up In Smoke” has a very atmospheric feeling, when it combines all the instrumentation and harmonies. The musician’s intent to preach a vital notion doesn’t go unnoticed, and I believe it has the quality of contributing to world peace.

Our planet is under constant threat against pollution, global warming, and a population crisis among other things. It is quite refreshing to hear a young artist such as Johanna Dadap sing about a societal matter that deserves more attention.
Here are some thought-provoking lyrics from Johanna’s heartfelt song – “The world’s gone up in smoke
And mother nature’s broke
But she’s too young to die.”
