Vancouver singer-songwriter Norine Braun is back with a captivating new single, "Just One Night." that feels deeply personal, as if it has come straight from her heart and is shared with the world in a moment of honesty. It carries a touch of intimacy that reminds listeners of the electric atmosphere found in live music, akin to a heartfelt late-night confession. Braun has a unique talent for making personal experiences resonate with everyone.
The music was recorded in Warehouse Studio during an exciting project called Steve Dawson's Henhouse Popup Sessions. It captures an honest sound, showcasing the impressive musicianship of the artists involved. The music has a special chemistry that comes from skilled musicians working together with a shared goal. Steve Dawson keeps things grounded with his warm guitar sounds, while Darryl Havers' keys add a layer of gentle gloom. The rhythm section, comprising Geoff Hicks on drums and Jeremy Holmes on bass, creates a relaxed yet powerful groove that supports the song beautifully. However, it's Norine's voice that truly shines. It's smoky and soft, expressing deep emotions. Her singing strikes a balance between desire and acceptance as if she's painting a picture of a moment frozen in time. When Alice Fraser joins her with harmony vocals, it feels like a wish is being softly fulfilled.
"Just One Night" is a beautiful ode to fleeting connections. Those magical moments when everything feels possible, even if nothing is specific. It celebrates the beauty found in temporary experiences, the sweetness of letting go, and the lingering feelings that remain long after the moment has passed. Braun delivers an emotional depth that captures both brilliance and intimate closeness.
