Lady Lazarus - Gleam

Here’s another gorgeous track from Melissa Anne Sweat’s recent All My Love in Half Light album. The solitary accordion of previous single Lapsarian is replaced here by a dancing, wintry tinkling on a piano’s higher register while Sweat’s left hand riffs on dramatic chords lower down. It’s like the musical equivalent of a magical snowy walk and demonstrates the Los Angeles-based songwriter’s mastery of restraint – elusive to so many. There’s just something incredibly real about her songs. All hail the new queen of honesty-pop.
