Sophia Kaloustian makes a splash in the music world by releasing her debut EP, "Conclusions of Grandeur. " This stunningly candid, emotionally potent eight-track project delves into the delicate intersection of love, loss, and self-discovery.
With an EP that is a little over 25 minutes long, it’s an intimate journey through Kaloustian’s head and thoughts, which have been heavily influenced by the relationships of her past and the development of her identity. Pairing her powerhouse vocals, which soar over lush, cinematic pop production, she weaves an immersive soundscape that’s as vulnerable as it is empowering.
But the standout tracks, “the line” and “best intention,” serve as emotional touchstones at the heart of the project. “the line” subtly unpacks all the hesitations and grey areas we feel around complicated love. In contrast, “best intention” pumps with sincerity and raw confessions a diary of trying to do right, even when it’s the most painful thing.
Marrying aspects of indie-pop with thoughtful storytelling, "Conclusions of Grandeur" isn’t only a display of Sophia Kaloustian’s vocal prowess and an adept conveyer of the human experience. Each song bleeds into the next, so while the EP is over in less than 19 minutes, it feels like it might be a direct, personal letter sealed shut with experience, vulnerability, and quiet resilience. So, for lovers of sentimental pop and heart-on-your-sleeve songwriting, there’s something poignant and memorable here on "Conclusions of Grandeur."
