Anoush – Brave Girl (2024)
Described as evocative, meaningful, and revealing depth and complexity in her music, singer-songwriter Anoush has captivated audiences from her native USA to the UK, France, Brazil and beyond. A classically trained pianist, Anoush’s melodies are bound with precision yet retain a sense of mystery in wistful tunes. Drawing together various genres, she flutters from jazz and indie pop to art pop and soul with experimental eclecticism.
Already a pioneer in the music industry, Anoush is a natural musician paving the way for artists to embrace kaleidoscopic compositions with powerful artistry. This is our introduction to Anoush but listening to one single offers such comfort that I feel she is a dear friend, not a new acquaintance. The latest addition to her discography is the single ‘Brave Girl’.
Following her critically acclaimed debut album ONE, Anoush saunters into 2024 with the alluring single ‘Brave Girl’. Serving as a prelude to her highly anticipated sophomore album, ‘Brave Girl’ weaves strands of indie-pop, soul and jazz creating a bright sonic tapestry. By combining bold beats with strong horns, Anoush builds the foundation of a melody that fits in any smoky jazz club. The underlying piano is hushed but enhances the tune’s suave appeal.
Already a sassy jazz-infused melody, one can enjoy the instrumentation as you sit back with a cocktail in your hand. For me, it is Anoush’s husky vocals that slice through with an Amy Winehouse sensuality binding the tune in a golden band of soul-stirring joy. Yet, as with Winehouse herself, there is a profound message woven into ‘Brave Girl’. Anoush explains:
“This mid-tempo jazz-infused pop track dives deep into the themes of awakening and self-discovery, weaving together spiritual references to create a truly immersive experience…the song delves into existential concepts drawing inspiration from Plato’s Allegory of the Cave and the narrative of Adam and Eve from Genesis, before culminating in a poignant reflection on the pursuit of truth that challenges perceptions… ”
