In her latest release, “Indigo,” Anna Duboc invites listeners to explore love, upbringing, and the narratives that define our relationships. There’s so much more to “Indigo” than some effortless surface-level sentiment, and it swims deeper into our emotional cave, specifically, how we learn to love from the people who raised us and the many complicated ways that manifests.
“Indigo” pulls in with its ethereal driving melody, which provides the backdrop to Duboc’s commendably energetic and expressive vocals. Every word she sings seems like a revelation, her voice both vulnerable and resolute as it slips through moments of memories and heartbreak. The song seamlessly navigates the duality of old and new, with lyrics that conjure up a flavorsome history of youth and its lasting effects on our ways of connecting.
Duboc’s range as an instrument is pure as she moves from tender, reflected passages to fierce, fiery emotional explosions, channeling the song’s nature. There’s a rare authenticity to her delivery that gives “Indigo’ a melancholic look at the emotional burden love brings over the long haul of life.
