Grief is something of an enticing topic for artists, but it doesn’t always make for easy listening. Juanita Stein whoops and chimes through her new track Snapshot, taken from her new album of the same name, out on October 2nd on NUDE Records. It starts slow, building to a shimmery and bold chorus before a finale that feels ethereal and encompassing.
‘It feels fundamental to understanding the devastation and eerie silence thrust upon us after his sudden death,’ begins the Brighton-based, Australian songwriter Juanita Stein, discussing the moment of great sadness that inspired her new record. ’It was a daunting task to sum up the life of one man such as my father. He was endlessly inspiring, charming, deeply talented and passionately spiritual. He admirably, and at times frustratingly, carried the torch for his own musical career until the very end.’
