When it comes to music discovery, I always find myself searching for artists that are willing to bring listeners into their world. I yearn for artists that are looking to push the boundaries lyrically & sonically. Because of that, I find myself searching for disruptors that refuse to align with the genre norms. Although it’s often hard finding these artists, it feels like I hit the lottery when I do. This week, I came across a diamond in the rough called Scharliina.
Scharliina is elegant, daring, and she is captivating. It is very rare that you discover an artist that has found their sound, but Scharliina has. With time spent within a pop-duo called Lightworkers, she has had time to develop her voice and songwriting. Combining her songwriting prowess and exceptional vocal range has made her a force. Now, she enters our pages with her debut album, “Darkness to a Fairytale”.
“Darkness to a Fairytale” is everything you want in an album. It is cohesive, introspective, and it explores the emotions and trials that come with trauma and abuse. Scharliina bears it all, and she crafts an album that is reflective and transformative. For me, I was impressed with how she used the healing frequencies of 432Hz and 528Hz throughout the album. When an artist can evoke raw emotions out of a listener, that’s when you know they have something special. Scharliina doesn’t hold back, and she creates a glimpse of hope for anyone that is going through trials and tribulations. This is an album that is about healing. Its purpose is to serve as a beacon of light for those who are in bad situations to transform and rise like the phoenix.
Sonically, I loved the detail and dedication to the production on each song. Each record told a story about transformation, and her vocals were flawless throughout. My favorite songs were “Running” & “Pieces of Me”. Overall, this is one of the best albums of the year so stream it below!
