Terra Lightfoot “Healing Power”
Healing Power is Hamilton’s own acclaimed recording artist Terra Lightfoot’s 4th studio album. Her growth and maturity as a musician and songwriter show in spades on this one. The album’s cover photo sets the scene for the album. The story goes she was alone in Austria, ahead of a string of solo European dates, she found herself on a mountaintop beneath that tree, singing, playing guitar, touching grass and drilling into the depths of her emotions. “Everything comes back around. It was my idea to call the record Healing Power, and I thought of the most healing place that I knew in the world. That tree taught me about perseverance. It was the only tree living at that altitude. It just kept growing. And I knew I had to be like that too: just to keep growing and changing.”
Healing Power (out October 13, 2023 on Sonic Unyon), Lightfoot showcases her charm, grit and grace as a pop songbird, delivering a doozy of an album, stacking well among so many of her other accomplishments. This LP delivers the peerless pop-rock album that fans have long known that she always had in her. Most of the album finds Lightfoot backed by bassist Elijah Abrams and Blue Rodeo’s Glenn Milchem on drums. Stand-out tracks are ““Cross Border Lovers”, “Someone Else’s Feelings”, and “Keep You In My Pocket” standing out, particularly with Lightfoot’s vocals and knack for a good melody.
Healing Power is for fans of high-energy, guitar-driven pop-rock, with no shortage of melodic hooks, and her always charming emotive wordplay.
Excited to see where she goes next.
