Debbii Dawson welcomes you into her world with the release of her new EP, "How To Be Human. " This project examines the very concept of humanism itself. A revelatory five-track collection that transforms life's contradictions into sonic grace, the project underscores Dawson's knack for marrying visceral feeling to intoxicating melodies.
A great storyteller, Dawson leads with Solitude, a song that starts as a kick of a meeting and ends as a self-worth anthem and showcases her haunting voice. Previous singles Turn The TV On, and Happy World hinted at the emotional depths of "How To Be Human," but the recently unveiled tracks are even more revealing of Dawson's artistry. The title track, How To Be Human, is the emotional center of what follows an aching piano ballad that captures a universal fear of losing ourselves. Its haunting yet hopeful melody, "How To Be Human," is a beautiful reminder of shared human struggles.
Closing out the project is Try, an exhilarating closer that ruminates on thoughts that leave listeners contemplating. When Dawson sweetly sings the achingly vulnerable line, "I'll never get it back if I never try," the EP closes on a left-field note of uncertainty that matches the beautifully chaotic downs and ups in the nature of life itself
With How To Be Human, Debbii Dawson shows she is not just a voice but a force of a storyteller, a sonic architect of pure emotion. Danceable, if subtly, it is something fans of introspective pop will find easy to get lost in.
