From the first few bars of Victoria Johnson’s Forever (In the End), you immediately know that you will like this sound. Her music combines influences from traditional Irish, Pop and Folk music, making Where the Lights Glow a satisfying listening experience. Her musical style is described as Ellie Goulding meets Kate Bush meets Enya. The Enya reference may be due to the vocal layering she uses most in her tracks.
If you go on a journey with her music through headphones or huge speakers, I assure you there are many aural surprises here. There are electronic effects that are tasteful and elegant. They are used to enhance the classical influence that works!
I love how she enunciates her words in Moon Eagle. Her vocals also shimmer in quiet tracks. It is a supple voice that is instantly endearing.
Overall, Where the Lights Glow sounds like so much effort has been placed in the production phase. You can savour the highs and the lows. I love the rumbling of the percussion that sounds cinematic. This album is a perfect chill music that you can always listen to. Its appeal lies in her compositional skills along with the production technique. This album deserves more exposure in film and TV. Hey producers, are you listening?
