Nina Provencal's latest album, Highest High, is a mesmerizing collection of soulful and introspective tracks that showcase her impressive vocal range and songwriting skills. From the opening track "Take Me Higher" to the closing ballad "Goodbye," the album takes listeners on an emotional journey that explores themes of love, loss, and personal growth.
Provencal's voice is the star of the show, effortlessly gliding from delicate falsettos to powerful belting. The instrumentation is equally impressive, with lush arrangements and tasteful production that never overwhelm the vocals. Standout tracks include the infectious "Dancing in the Dark" and the hauntingly beautiful "Silent Night."
What sets Highest High apart from other contemporary soul albums is Provencal's willingness to experiment with different genres and sounds. The funky "Foolish Love" and the country-tinged "Broken Dreams" add a refreshing diversity to the album without feeling out of place.
