Ivy Mor – In Other Words (2021)
Ivy Mor is unleashing the power of love in its purest form through her single ‘In Other Words’. While a different track to her sad breakup songs, she celebrates love and togetherness while calling on all of us to do the same. With vivid electronic sounds and the warmth of an acoustic cello played by renowned cellist Maya Belzitsman, her genuine vocals elegantly lead you to a swell of emotion.
As the last single from her debut album, this track offers an uplifting end to the journey the album lays out. Through all her music, Mor unravels personal stories and highlights new points of few while contrasting her roots with the different environments she grew up in. With a touch of folk adding to the vibes of 90s pop music, she empowers, comforts and relates to everyone willing to listen.
Ivy Mor’s vocals draw you into the awakening of ‘In Other Words’. Her voice is light a bright light in the twilight of dusk that becomes lighter and brighter as the song progresses. There is a tender touch to her performance that soothes the rough parts of your spirit. You can feel the power of her voice as it gently sweeps through you and fans the ember of affection in your chest. Through the single, her performance fills you with emotion while lifting a weight off your shoulders. The ethereal and airy flow of the vocals later in the track are beautiful and bring a touch of Annie Lennox to the track.
While the vocals are emotive and touching, the melody enhances their power through the wonderful blending of tones. Through the opening, the music has a light flow that matches the twinkling vocals tones. The piano that enters brings a grounded depth that rolls through you before the cello makes an appearance. The warm tones of the cello sit in your chest and swell with the emotion of the vocals. As the vocals turn to their ethereal movement, the cello creates the air currents they ride while the drum bolsters both.
Ivy Mor uses a masterful blend of warm cello, grounded acoustic depths and poignant vocals to fan the embers of affection in all of us through ‘In Other Words’. Every element of the single comes together to shine the light on love and togetherness while filling you with the peaceful emotions they bring. Mor’s vocals are powerful while understated and rise with the swell of emotive instrumentation.
