Electropop artist Devorah has done it again, proving she’s a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. Her much-anticipated album ‘I Am’, released on September 2, 2024, is already making waves and capturing both the ears and hearts of listeners. This rising star’s latest offering showcases why she’s quickly becoming a standout in the world of electronic music.
Clocking in at a robust 53 minutes and change, ‘I Am‘ is more than just a collection of 13 tracks – it’s a journey through Devorah’s musical psyche. From the get-go, it’s clear that this isn’t your run-of-the-mill pop album. Devorah’s unique blend of electropop and EDM is infused with a depth that comes from a life lived fully, with all its ups and downs.
Devorah’s story reads like a classic tale of artistic awakening. Picture this: a four-year-old girl, standing atop a picnic table during preschool recess, belting out tunes to her classmates. That fearless little performer was Devorah, and that moment was the spark that ignited her passion for music. Fast forward to today, and that same spark has turned into a blazing fire of creativity.
But Devorah’s path hasn’t always been smooth sailing. Like many artists, she’s had her share of personal demons to battle. She’s been refreshingly open about her struggle with addiction and her journey to sobriety. These experiences haven’t just shaped her as a person – they’ve seeped into her music, giving it a raw authenticity that’s hard to fake.
Now signed with One Shoe Records (a label with a knack for spotting unique talent), Devorah has found her musical home. Her sound is a heady mix of infectious beats and synthesized melodies that’ll have you bobbing your head before you know it. But it’s her lyrics that really pack a punch. As Devorah puts it, “I hope listeners will be able to connect with my lyrics and find comfort in them.” And connect they do – her words have a way of reaching out and grabbing you by the feels.
‘I Am’ isn’t just Devorah’s baby – it’s the product of some serious musical minds coming together. She’s teamed up with heavyweight producers like ReOrder (who’s worked with big names like Armada Music and Armin Van Buuren) and Patrick Ryan Heaney (known for his work with CHVRCHES and Skrillex). The result? An album that’s polished to perfection but still keeps that emotional grit that Devorah is known for.
Let’s talk tracks. The album kicks off with “Breaking Through,” a song that sets the tone for what’s to come. It’s like Devorah is saying, “Buckle up, folks – we’re in for a ride.” Then there’s “Rollercoaster” – a bit of a dark horse that might remind you of Röyksopp if they decided to take a walk on the wilder side. “On My Way To You” is the kind of track that’ll have you unconsciously nodding along, its bass line worming its way into your brain.
But it’s not all high-energy beats. Devorah knows how to slow it down too. “Care for You” and “Wanting You” show her softer side, exploring those universal themes of love and longing that we all know too well.
The standout track? That’s got to be “Take Over the World.” At over 6 minutes long, it’s an epic journey in itself. It’s the kind of song that makes you feel like you could, well, take over the world.
It’s worth noting that Devorah isn’t just about the music. She’s also a Reiki master, and that spiritual side of her definitely comes through in her work. It adds a layer of depth to her songs that you don’t often find in pop music.
Looking ahead, Devorah’s got plenty more up her sleeve. She’s already working on an EP with Patrick Ryan Heaney, and there are whispers of special edition vinyl releases coming soon. Fans can catch her live at the Springboard festival in Memphis this October – a performance that’s sure to be memorable.
With ‘I Am’, Devorah has carved out her own little niche in the electropop world. Her commitment to keeping it real, combined with some serious musical chops, suggests we’ll be hearing a lot more from her in the years to come. As she puts it herself, she’ll “be making music for the rest of her life” – and based on what we’re hearing, that’s music to our ears.
