Tilda Allie “Rocket Me High”

Tilda Allie’s intensive vocal style reminds you Adele meets Lana Del Ray. Her neon-soul, jazz-fused pop voice dives deep in a mood-filled melancholy that doesn’t dissolve in water. “ROCKET ME HIGH” revolves around existentialism and spiritual awakening, and the brilliance of the song is how it captures and visualizes each phase.

The first half of the song can only be described as “loneliness slowly dissolve into a darker underground.” Self slowly disappears into the surrounding as everything else takes over. The listening experience is immersive and intimate as Tilda Allie narrates and re-acts the dizzy, slow-mo of spiraling down.

Then it changes, when the change really begins to happen. It’s a quest alone. Painful, chaotic but transformation is about becoming something you have never been. The track dives into a vacant, fluid-like cocoon sound space as Allie seeks for a path. The true power lies in the deepest, the darkest and the most dangerous place. There’s no safety nest around, and no telling if you’ll ever make it back, but the only thing you could do is to move forward. “I feel cold” echoes around the space. It’s a simple line but it creates powerful visualizations.

The moment that it finally breaks free from the imprisonment, light shine through and everything is regenerated and reboosted. The ending of “ROCKET ME HIGH” is emotional fulfilling and inspiring. Tilda Allie creates a powerful experience about spiritual awakening through her expressive vocal performance and her brilliant touch of sound shaping. There’s no limitation of what she could achieve.
