Sora – Heartwood (CD Corvid Media)

Sora is a Canadian female artist who is classical trained in violin and piano. “Heartwood” isn’t her first release, but probably the one that will possibly increase her popularity. Distributed by the French ethereal label Prikosnovénie this can be nothing more than an indication of Sora’s sound. This artist could have been signed on Prikosnovénie. The music remains a bit like Louisa John-Krol although I would say it’s a little bit darker and ethereal like as well. The new-age style of Louisa John-Krol has been replaced by a real fascination for Celtic music. “Heartwoord” this way sounds like an interesting mixture of different influences with a pure ethereal impact. Several acoustic instruments like piano, harp, percussion, violin, cello ao create a very authentic sound full of refinement and delicacy. Sora’s music can be the best described by terms like gentle, graceful, tender, fragile, evasive and enjoyable. “Heartwood” sounds like a relaxing therapy where you can leave all stress and problems behind. I think it’s not totally coincidental if there’s a strong link with elements of Mother Nature running through Sora’s music. “Heartwood” sounds like the offspring of a healthy cure. The magic of the instruments sounds like a fresh breeze after a warm summer day. The violin play in “Winter” feels wafting while the accordion in “Light” brings a part of folk. The last part of the ride features the beautiful song “The Birch’s Lament”. This is a brilliant piece of music showing all the talent of this artist while her vocal performance is also outstanding. “Madron Well” coming up is the last song from the album and another attention grabber. “Heartwood” is a magnificent trip leaded by an inspired artist who got the help from an impressive number of musicians. This is an album I can only recommend for the lovers of heavenly voices and music! Sora is a real huge discovery!
