With her musical project Half Waif, Nandi Rose plunges into the waters of artistic expression, layering evocative vocals and synths to create a powerful form of pop music. On Mythopoetics, Rose explores a full spectrum of sounds that sparkle with memorable hooks, otherworldly production, and driving grooves. Previous albums The Caretaker (2020) and Lavender (2018) were acclaimed for their fascinating journeys through loneliness, longing, and the search for independence. Half Waif declares a new chapter on Mythopoetics, a collection of 12 new songs – mythical stories that transcend time, each sung with a glorious contralto wrapped in synths and electronic percussion, and her lyrical piano serving as the backbone. It’s an essential reminder that we have the power to shape the stories we tell and the myths we make of our lives. This is music to be felt.
