With her graceful sense of melody, Blaschke's intricate and guitar-heavy take on folk-rock captures the subtlest of feelings, including-on the title track-the inherent push-and-pull between beauty and pain. "If you're of a melancholy disposition, it takes a lifetime to figure out how to use that energy constructively and not turn it against yourself," says Blaschke of the quietly triumphant "Breaking the Blues." -- As on her previous albums, Blaschke brings her body of work to life with a blend of solo songwriting and close collaboration. "I always write by myself," she says. "I have a music room, kind of like my own little lady cave, and the songs tend to start there sometime late at night." Noting that she thrives on the infinite possibilities in using melody to channel emotion, Blaschke says she's also endlessly in thrall to the magic of creative chemistry. "Listening to a mix of something I've just recorded with all these great musicians fills me with so much joy-it's pretty much unparalleled," she says. "You make a song by yourself, and even though you can tell it has vitality, there's nothing like sharing it with other people and seeing it crystallized into something new that you never could have anticipated. I'll always be fascinated by that." -- -- (Source: Artist PR) -- UPC 190394493660 -- The Amazon ASIN for the mp3 version of this CD is B01G73K6AW -- Another listing by Zip
