Essa Alexis creates a stunning neo soul listening experience with her new single "Garden".
I am in awe of these buttery vocals and simple piano track. It is just incredible what Essa is able to create. The track is introspective and displays an amazing depth of emotion.
The ethereal, smooth, and silky sound of “Garden” transports listeners into a mental journey of trying to pursue inner bliss and alignment. The poetic lyrics blossom, much like flowers in a garden, to reveal a sense of hope during a time of loneliness and mental turmoil. “Garden” was birthed during the lockdown by Toronto artist Essa Alexis. It displays her inner mind and emotions by infusing the gentle sounds of piano, harp, and her velvety caramel voice.
