Alela Diane will be relasing her new album titled Wild Divine on 4th April on Rough Trade Records. The opening track To Begin gives you an idea of what’s in store. A complete shift from anything you’ve heard before. Listen to it now.
We could hardly expect Alela to re-produce another To Be Still. That album was actually released back in 2009, so there has been a fair gap, enough for a few life changes to take place at least. She’s had some time to experiment with a new sound and this album will maybe bring her closer to a mainstream audience. She has also made some other changes in her life. She is now married to Tom Bevitori who, along with her father, has been touring with her, and appears on this album along with a new rythm section.
The sound, as you can hear for yourself, is very different but there are still familiar trademark elements in there which can still be heard through the new pop-folk layers.
This recent video of the track “The Wind” from Wild Divine is as beautiful as ever although the full band version will no doubt be very different.
