Paosin The Well - Garasu No Kokoro / ガラスの心 (2017) EN

Paosin The Well, mysterious artists from the Philippines, creates an intimate mixture of ambient, dub and... poetry for people with glass hearts (as suggested by the album's title, ガラスの心 in Japanese means exactly a glass heart). She draws attention like a powerful magnet and amazes with her original ways of art.

The poems recited by the singer with accompanying electronic music inspires the audience with both their message and form. Not only do they tell what the situation in the poet's head is in a very intimate way (quite literary in "Inside A Mad Girl's Head") but also are perfectly fitted for a rhythmic though not very fast recitation, just like the good hip-hop lyrics. Sometimes it's clear and served literary, sometimes well distorted and atmospheric  ("A New Beginning").

And the accompanying electronics consist of ambient backgrounds as flexible as the water surface that are overwritten only by subtle melodies played with keys and beats appearing out of nowhere (as in "Little Isabel (Don't Fret)").

"ガラスの心" costs 6 USD.
