EP Review: Vanessa Forero 'From The Uproar'

British Colombian singer-songwriter Vanessa Forero released her new EP, From The Uproar, on March 28th. A collection of five songs which Forero not only wrote, but also performed and produced are truly a one-of-a-kind blend of Indie Folk and Forero’s Latin roots (Forero’s mother’s life was documented in the bestselling book The Girl With No Name and documentary Woman Raised By Monkeys).

The EP starts off with “Heaven Knows” on which Forero’s ethereal vocals captivate alongside an earthy, tribal melody. That’s followed by the insanely catchy “Same Boat,” (a song that will instantly put you in a joyful mood), “I’ll Be Wrong Again,” a delicate tune about the heart and the enchanting and mystical “Raven.” From The Uproar concludes with the bonus track, “Anhela.” Sung in Spanish, Forero’s delivery transcends language barriers in a song with thoughtfulness and depth, that like the album, lingers long after the last sweet note is heard.
