Joy and sorrow often live closer together than one imagines. There is, after all, no ‘becoming’ in life … without first waving a white flag at events beyond our control. Across her career, Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter HALIENE has created a language around the contrast between happiness and heavier hearted times, giving voice to the place where the paths of love, loss, hope and transformation cross. Now, with her sophomore album Eclipsed, she draws on those to create her most personal and expansive body of work yet. Following Heavenly, her 2022 debut album, Eclipsed finds HALIENE stepping both into new stylistic areas, while also reconnecting with the musical worlds that shaped her beginnings. Across its fifteen tracks, the worlds of trance, melodic bass, cinematic electronica and pop songwriting shift in and out of each another’s shadows. At its heart though, Eclipsed is an album about what happens when that light changes.
