Award-winning singer-songwriter Aliza Hava journeys through pain and healing on comforting and soulful rock-tinged number “Emotion Tide.” With poignant lyricism on the importance of letting yourself feel and express heartache in order to move on from it, the cathartic number is a stunning blend of genres led by Hava’s bold vocals.
A sonic treat for the ears, the track effortlessly blends sultry Spanish guitars with the lush sensibilities of electric and acoustic guitars, layers of keys and analog sounds weaving through ethereal vocal delivery to capture an emotive yet uplifting feel. Lyrically, “Emotion Tide,” carries a healing message on overcoming the hurt of a broken relationship, inspiring us as Hava herself showcases her ability to emerge stronger after a difficult time.
Speaking of the track, Aliza says, “We all know people often hold back their tears in an effort to be strong. But true healing can only happen when we allow those tears to fall and cleanse us of the grief of a broken heart.”
A fan favourite track that’s resonated with audiences every time she has performed live, the recording of “Emotion Tide,” has been imminent. Now it has come to life as a soothing production mixed by Mikal Blue, brimming with a roster of multi-talents including keyboardist, Dean Dinning (Toad the Wet Sprocket) and bassist Michael Visceglia, Suzanne Vega’s musical director.
The first glimpse of a forthcoming album which explores overcoming trauma via spiritual perspectives on life and the idea of reclaiming a sense of peace, the track unveils Aliza Hava’s intricate fusion of folk, rock, pop, and R&B in all its glory. A self-taught musician who turned to song writing while seeking solace from a challenging childhood, Aliza’s empowering artistry is balm for any turmoil in our lives, teaching us to pull trauma apart to find the triumph and tranquillity within it.
