Review: My Brightest Diamond offers 'A Million And One' reasons to give her new album a listen
Shara Nova has always pioneered to be a trendsetter. Be it in her transition from classical music to creating a signature sound of her own, or her ability to create dazzling, shapeshifting musicscapes from the most basic of elements, Nova has often given people a multi-dimensional listening experience unlike anything ever heard before.
And that is exactly what she seeks to do in her latest record, 'A Million and One', as well. Walking the tightrope between being a classically trained vocalist, a self-taught multi-instrumentalist and a frontrunner in genre-bending music, Nova sparkles in her latest offering.
And it comes as no surprise, given her encounters with music across spectrums. Hailing from a family of travelling evangelicals, exposed to gospel music and then settling in Detroit when hip-hop and soul ruled the airwaves in the early '90s, Nova draws from a range of influences and has dabbled in musical extremes — from opera to rock.
