The track is the opener from her album Mourning Doves of Joshua Tree

With the release of her immersive new album Mourning Doves of Joshua Tree, Canadian-American singer-songwriter Tara Beier explores the loss of her grandmother and the grief and period of renewal that she has experienced as a result, making for a rollercoaster of emotions as she processes and deals with the situation.

A theme that props up throughout the album is her relationship with the desert and the periods of solace and liberation that it has provided her with, and she delves into this thoroughly on ‘Desert Soul’, The folky nature of her sound and the punchy, driving bassline of the track makes for this really stirring and rousing feel throughout. Introspective, powerful, and packed full of emotion and fierceness that is written all across her lyrics and vocals, the track is a really great showcase of the artist’s distinctive appeal and the album as a whole.
