Flourishing singer-songwriter Mandy Slate shares her intimately personal new EP, "Home," a four-track emotional journey that’s as delicate as a heart-to-heart and wide open as the sky. At just over ten minutes, "Home" captures a universe of emotion, encompassing the ache of longing and the hope for tentative self-discovery.
The album’s title track, “Home,” forges a pageant bow as one draped with both dreamy and hauntingly textured arrangements, creating an aural landscape of longing for connection, freedom, and authenticity. It’s a tale of seeking, looking for a home, an emotion, or a version of oneself that feels authentic and vital. Mandy’s tender yet emotive voice floats easily on delicate instrumentation, enveloping listeners in a reflective serenity.
As one of the highlights, “Silver Lining,” glows with an emotional warmth that’s a testament to the notion that even in life’s uncertainties, hope lurks at its periphery. “Bed” paces down, hinting at the soft ache of solitary spaces and the safety that comes with vulnerability. “Disaster” concludes Funkloric with a raw, cathartic energy that is both broken and brave, a fitting conclusion to a project of self-discovery.
