Blair West, a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist living in New York City, has reopened the gates to her magical, whimsical world, and she is ready and eager to welcome new listeners into her lovely, wistful, and deliciously fascinating domain. New song “Nostalgia” is a folk-infused, lo-fi, bedroom pop offering that’s ready to gently take the audience by the hand.
Blair West conjures the loveliest of scenes with hushed harmonies over fingerpicked guitar, all the while bathing in a sea of tenderness and silky, hazy synth production.
Her previous track, “rabbit holes,” was a huge hit, and her first album, “All This To Say,” has been streamed about 60,000 times.
Blair’s angelic, immaculate tone and ethereal timbre make her the undisputed queen of making music you want to wrap up in, get comfy, and drift off to.
Lyrically, “Nostalgia” recalls the early days of a bygone romance and has some charmingly romantic moments. The combination of its nostalgic, lovely, and rose-tinged sweetness and its pinched, subtle despair is heartbreaking.
Blair’s ethereal acoustic guitar rings out into the cosmos of her creation with astral-like spacey music, and that’s about all that’s required to explain the charming nuances of ‘Nostalgia,’ which brims with appealing pop sensibilities that are intertwined throughout.
