Diandra Reviews It All

Kacy Hill’s debut album, Like A Woman, is like swimming through dark-pop water. You just dive in an go through every electric current without any idea if there is such a thing as emotional stability in a relationship. For all that we seek to balance ourselves, especially in counter with our lovers and friends, this mission seems never-ending, but Kacy Hill is determined to accomplish it or, at least, find why she cannot.
Kacy Hill – Hard To Love

What makes Hill’s debut so powerful is that her voice has an inherent whimper to it. She is tremulous in songs “Army’ Length”, “Cruel”, and “Say You’re Wrong”, as she embodies every moment we became obsessed with someone apologizing or acknowledging they hurt us. Personally, I have always questioned how society defines things such as, closure and forgiveness. For me, these are personal, insular acts, in which the person who hurt you is not as needed, if at all, to let him or her go. Instead, it the hurst he or she caused you that you must decide to leave behind, and as seen in songs “Keep Me Sane”, “Hard To Love”, and “Static”, pain is an invisible power. We do not see how hurt keels and kills us, which is why Kacy uses murky synths to summon the dark water image I mentioned. In some ways, how we move through our pain is like swimming through dark water without necessarily seeing ahead or knowing if we are properly moving forward. This type of aura/ sentiment should not be so easily made beautiful, but, again, Kacy Hill’s voice hypnotizes with its ability to sound regal, piercing, and clear in its confusion, struggle, and pain. Not one song truly strikes for euphoria beyond its mystically waved keys and bass. Even “First Time” is about a longing for love’s bliss that has since passed. Things are always great and fresh in the beginning, but as time flows, how to keep our relationships consistently feeling new and sparkling becomes rough. It is like having a giant diamond, and not knowing how to keep it clean and shining from time’s wear.
Kacy Hill – Like A Woman

I know that I am using a lot of images to describe Kacy Hill’s debut, but she has sculpted her first album to be visionary. It truly is an art-piece that can have the radio hits such as, “Like A Woman”, but the greatest thing a new artist can do is build a bridge between their individual and the masses. You do not have to sell yourself out as an artist to sell. On the contrary, you have to be yourself and find how your authenticity, when shared, becomes universally relatable. Kacy Hill’s Like A Woman does exactly that, and can be bought on June 30 By Click Here.
