Soft Surroundings is an aural invitation into a world of Krystal Hardwick’s creation. A world of sonic and emotional vibrations that skip and reverberate like rays from the sun. If you allow yourself to be guided, it’s inevitable you’ll fall under the spell she’s spun. Hardwick’s moody and seductive vocals lead you into a place where sadness and introspection can be as colorful and funky as joy. Despite it’s overall theme of melancholia, ‘Soft Surroundings’ leaves one with the feeling that Hardwick certainly found a sense of freedom and relief in the expression of her darker emotions through song. I’m intrigued to see what else from Ms.Hardwick is still yet to unfurl. Undoubtedly, if more artists followed her lead and looked within, they too would find their honest skin. Krystal Hardwick is definitely finding hers and she’s inviting you in.
Her debut album, The Tale of Two Fish, will be released this Winter……
