Boasting a sound that is wrought full of emotional complexity and musical deftness, Lara Taubman is an artist who’s distinctive appeal and perspective has seen her lauded as a one-of-a-kind talent with a unique lens that feels entirely her own.

The twist with her latest album The Gospel of Getting Free is that it sees the artist embracing some of these themes from a more positive and refreshed point of view, as evidenced on standout track ‘The Siren’. The track sits uneasily somewhere between melancholic serenity and emotional freedom, addressing the titular idea of Getting Free in her signature indie americana and alt folk fashion. There is a really one of a kind feel to the track throughout, equally rousing and enigmatic in the way that it unfolds, with the repeated refrain of “sing me something happy/ sing me something good” leaving a lasting impression on you as a listener.
