Liang Lawrence has a rare ability to distill raw feelings into music that sticks in after the last note fades. Her latest release, “Out Loud,” only highlights why her sound connects so well with listeners. This track invites listeners to enter her world of contemplation, openness, and raw passion.
“Out Loud” creates a sense of introspection that makes one sit still and listen. Liang doesn’t sing as much as she weaves a tale, infusing each note with emotion in the soul-borne register of her delivery. The track, a pleasing composition of complex rhythms and melodies and rich, expressive vocal performance, unfolds quickly from the moment the gentle harmonies take control.
There’s an intimacy in Liang’s voice that makes you feel as if she’s singing directly to you, and she articulates thoughts and emotions that you may not have ever expressed yourself. It marks her consistency as an artist as she makes moments.
