SZA had a fantastic way of explaining Supermodel's production. Basically, outside of the chords on the acoustic guitar, any additional sounds would have distracted from the atemporal weight it carried. And the same principle can be applied to Solace's debut EP, thesis.
Milky Wayv's bohemian soul proposes that less is more as she aims for growth in a nonexistent space she's eager to be the first to break into. The 6-track EP balances the scales of pastoral guitar chords and scarce amounts of rummaging keyboard to pair with her windswept, exposed vocals to bring full circle progress musically, intellectually and spiritually. The introductory song, ollie, ignites the first thoughts of the EP with a sampled question asking if her vision is remotely doable. Obliging chords nudge her harmonizing in a Northward direction, and from there the tide has turned.
Songs like pgs has a bassline that acutely reminds of Josh Klinghoffer's intro riff on Red Hot Chili Pepper's Dark Necessities. Fresh wounds and old scars are similarly shown by instrumentation. Solace's placements of idealistic harmonizing, the sample of a professor-type explaining the investment of time to improve your writing, reject old habits and grasp onto positive change. My favorite song, reverb nation, sounds like the black sheep of thesis. The mystic funk cut lives up to the name -- waved, reverb vocals, piercing pitched keys, a groovy synth bassline, modish rhythm guitar strums. Reverb Nation plays like Solace hit her life's mark, and the ever so gorgeous ultimate track, you were meant to grow, readies her for greener pastures to reap the fruit of her labor. Her voice impacts me like Laura Mvula's on Show Me Love.
Thesis presents an ideal idea ready for an over-listen. I hope you enjoy.
