Description
Described as sounding like a Southern, self-taught Carole King by way of Rickie Lee Jones and Laura Nyro, Newland Moorefield adroitly deals out folk-jazz-pop piano with pure, strong, seasoned vocals. But while she may remind you of other artists, Newland's style is wholly original.
Born in the Appalachians, but now hailing from Austin, Texas, this raw singer/songwriter/piano player plays by no one else's rules. Her voice is haunting and emotional, but in many ways brings the listener to a more grounded space.
Moorefield writes stories that tell of lives lost, lives lived to the fullest, and lives still in-the-making. She brings you full circle, taking you through the colors and sounds inside trials and tribulations, but always reminding you--most often with cunning humor--of the power and radiance of human perseverance.
Threads of Mercury is becalming, but wide-awake, art. Its hook-driven combination of piano, cello, horns, and loop guitars moves between pop, folk, and jazz without missing a beat. Session and performing players provide a crisp, quality sound that's earthy, powerful, and full of emotion.
