We only have one more week until the release of Sophie Jamieson's new album, but we certainly can't wait that long. Luckily, there's a new single to tide us over! "Vista" is a stripped down and raw song. The focus is Jamieson's vocals and emotion, with bare instrumentation. It doesn't remind me of Tori Amos sonically, but it does in the stripped down with bare emotions sense. Jamieson has created a highly engaging song that is going to be impossible to use as background music. Without using a lot of volume or noise, "Vista" demands your full and complete attention.
Sophie Jamieson says of her latest single:
"Written in the midst of falling in love, I think I sensed the danger in my own emotions. It was intense and rapid, and though I didn’t realise it at the time, this song seems to reveal my awareness of losing myself very quickly. I felt like a child, in good and bad ways. Everything felt electrified, but also lonely. I found myself painting this picture of a long car drive along cliffs under empty skies, constantly ruining everything, always asking for too much."
You can watch the video for "Vista" below. I still want to share is due out January 17 on Bella Union, and is available for pre-order here. For more on Sophie Jamieson, check out the artist on Instagram and Facebook.
