Awakening is Lizzie Thomas’s invitation to a cosmic dancefloor where jazz sophistication meets soulful groove and a splash of pop sparkle. The album’s genre-defying sound feels like a secret handshake for music lovers who crave emotional honesty wrapped in irresistible melodies. Thomas’s voice effortlessly moves between smoky jazz tones and heartfelt soul cries, creating a tapestry of sound that’s as intimate as a late-night conversation.
The inclusion of the Grammy-winning Harlem String Quartet adds a lush, orchestral layer that elevates every track. Whether it’s the hypnotic cycle of fifths in Awakening or the shimmering strings in Home, the arrangements feel like vivid brushstrokes on an already colorful canvas. The B3 Hammond organ and electric bass add modern warmth, giving the album an edge without sacrificing its heart.
What truly sets Awakening apart is its fearless exploration of themes like self-love, grief, and liberation. Lizzie channels her spiritual clairaudience into songs that don’t just tell stories—they invite you to live them. This album isn’t just music; it’s an experience that pulls you in and won’t let go.
