A.S.Īccurately conveying teen emotions on a song years after you’ve left high school is like trying to capture lightning in a bottle. Part of a class of young no-fucks-given artists keen on showcasing their visions, Doechii’s “Persuasive” feels like a small taste of what’s to come. “That marijuana, she’s so persuasive,” she coos over a pulsing beat. (The president made one small mistake: He should have selected the remix.) With SZA, Doechii flips the overused drug-anthem trope on its head by rebuilding it into a slinky club anthem. While the mêlée of her single “Crazy” is enough for the Best of 2022 shortlist, it’s “Persuasive” that feels like the more fully realized work: a somehow not-cringey ode to weed that’s cool enough for the downtown crowd yet popular enough for Barack Obama to include on his annual list of favorite songs.
Thankfully, things are moving swimmingly for the Tampa singer-rapper. Hillel does appear in the video: he’s the whisperer in our ears, a spectral presence at the margins of the frames, lending Wolf support as a guardian angel might.įor inquiries or corrections to Press Releases, please reach out to EIN Presswire.When Doechii signed with TDE, it was hard not to helicopter-parent the label doesn’t exactly have a stellar track record of treating its female artists favorably (as seen via SZA’s infrequent dispatches about Top Dawg president Punch). Any resemblance to Sinead O’Connor’s epic performance in the “Nothing Compares 2U” clip is absolutely intentional. But it doesn’t come from Hillel Tigay directly - instead, it’s the winsome Torii Wolf, who stares straight at the camera and pours her heart out. The mesmerizing clip for “Alive” also involves a direct address. The secular recordings he makes with Palms Station bears the same stamp of the divine that his music at IKAR does - it’s emotional, courageous, and communal, and it speaks directly to the soul. His activities at the temple have prompted a feature in Variety, which described him as an immense musical talent and a man whose understanding of the liberatory spiritual power of sound informs everything he does. Hillel is a Hazzan: a learned temple official schooled in devotional music. IKAR is not just noted for being at the cutting edge of progressive spiritual synagogue life around the globe, but it's also attended by luminaries such as Steven Spielberg, Marta Kauffman, Emmy Rossum, Seth Rogen, Anne Hathaway and Nick Kroll, among others. Hillel Tigay, the multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who is the driving force behind Palms Station, is also a cantor and musical director at IKAR, one of the largest and most influential progressive synagogues in Southern California. The song swings between intimate, confessional verses and towering choruses it’s exhilarating, dramatic, transcendent.Īnd if “Alive” is as invigorating as a hymn, there’s a reason for that. As gorgeous and bracing as that song is, "Alive" ups the intensity considerably.
based Wolf, who is a celebrated singer-songwriter in her own right, has worked with Palms Station before: that was her inimitable voice on the aching "Blue Skies Back," a gorgeous exercise in hopeful acoustic pop-rock. That's because at the minute mark, singer Torii Wolf takes control of the song and doesn't let go until the last note stops ringing. Then the volume drops, the voices fall to a hush - and the magic really starts. It feels solemn and joyous, electrifying and reflective, simultaneously evocative of mainstream pop and spiritual music. Instead, it's a sheer exercise in sonic power: soaring, majestic vocals over thunderous beats and broad piano chords. LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, Novem/ / - For the first sixty seconds of "Alive" by Los Angeles rock band Palms Station, there are no words at all. Palms Station partnered with singer Torii Wolf for "Alive", blending mainstream pop with influence from spiritual music (Hillel Tigay is a cantor at IKAR).
