EP REVIEW: AUDRI “SWAN SONG”

Audri’s music has the power to permeate the walls and illuminate the surroundings with its unique storytelling and frequency. Spiraling between folk songwriting and a rock-fused dreamscape, Swan Song is a spectacular collection of three distinct stories/characters that reflect and discuss situational, behavioral, and emotive conditions.
In Audri’s creative process, she treats the songs like each unique identity that evolves, creates, feels, and tells stories, which results in her seemingly impossible contrasting range of sound palettes that no one else could create. Her music isn’t defined by genre or influence, but the story and characteristic itself, which also gives her the freedom and space to nurture the creative flow.
Her songs have the deeply engaging vibe that instantly drags you into their storytelling that goes beyond lyrics or sound but the song itself as a whole. “Dear Ramona” opens the EP with a sonic letter that tunes into the tender, expressive nostalgia. “Happening” dives into a dark, introspective mental space where the thoughts fly crazy under the deep water. “Relax” opens with a moody guitar that swirls into an upbeat, light-hearted message. Like a strand of light, the song casts away the darkness with its good vibes and positivity.
