Soleil River Nation – Small Girl In A Big World (2024)
At the tender age of 10, US-based Soleil River Nation is a phenomenon in the Miami music industry – although, her talents are reaching people on a global scale. Immersed in music and performance from a very young age, she stirred a small flame for music, which grew to a burning fire with her natural skill and growing prominence on the music scene. A multi-instrumentalist with a significant presence in the National Children’s Chorus and the Miami Music Project, Nation is “a singer-songwriter poised for international acclaim”. In fact, she recently won the Miami Music Project’s “Student of the Year – Miami Beach Chapter” in 2023. Her musicality may be instinctual, but her single is a testament to the impact of the Playing For Change Foundation in collaboration with El Arte De Los Suenos and Young Musicians Unite promoting young artists. Come with us as we delve into Nation’s debut single ‘Small Girl In A Big World’.
With an angelic face and adorable grin, Soleil River Nation brims with youthful innocence, so it’s quite astonishing to hear the sophistication of ‘Small Girl In A Big World’. With an elegant arrangement of bold drums and dynamic guitars, the melody has a toe-tapping bounce. Warm and jovial, ‘Small Girl In A Big World’ holds you in a comfortable hug and you can easily twirl about to the pleasant tune. Yet, as pleasant as the melody may be, profoundness and depth exist in the lyricism.
A juxtaposition between smile-inducing tones and sombre themes, ‘Small Girl In A Big World’ is just that – a song about being small in a great world. Moreover, the sweet childish tinge of Nation’s smooth vocals enhances the complexity of facing a bad world. Not wanting to grow up, not wanting to deal with reality’s uncertainty, and not looking forward to the leap from childhood to adulthood, ‘Small Girl In A Big World’ explores the joy of youth with intricate vulnerability.
Nation is a small girl in a big world, but her angelic vocals and sincere melodies make her a growing prodigy set to be a big name in the music industry. If her debut single is anything to go by, we can expect great things from this young lady.
