SOUND

The most wondrous love songs in contemporary pop are composed by London-based singer and producer Tirzah. On her two albums to date, most recently 2021’s Colourgrade, her mesmerizing voice sings of devotion, trust, and openness along shimmering and murmuring soundscapes. She unfolds eroticism in the reduction of feelings to minimalist mantras; she unloads herself in the most urgent intensity, especially while manipulating her voice with vocoders and other electronic devices. You’re listening to an artist here who finds entirely new expressions of romanticism and introspection in surrendering the self to the apparent coldness of technology. Tirzah is an engineer of the self – and her music: authenticity of a higher order.
