Taking inspiration from lyrical geniuses Weyes Blood, Phoebe Bridgers, Lana Del Rey, and experimental pop pushers Björk and Kate Bush, Mohkínstsis-based artist Laura Hickli shares “Unholy Power,” the lead single to her debut album. The lush, evocative soundscapes she creates with strings and her own voice harmonizing pair with the dreamy lyrics. Acting as a sort of therapist to herself, her confession-style lyrics are not only bound to help Hickli through self-disclosure, but the many people who feel similarly during this time. “I don’t need to know what’s happening,” she admits, finding comfort rather than anxiety in the unknown.
