Alongside a gripping video narrative, Cynthia Hamar promotes one of her standout pieces ‘Where Your Love Lives’ form her magnetic and well performing release ‘Joint & Marrow’. The roots/blues/folk stylised performance exudes a sense of heartland aesthetic that thrives in the rather minimalist arrangement that that the song basks itself in. With a simple acoustic and piano melody really anchoring and keeping the entire arrangement in place, ‘Where Your Love Lives’ builds subtly and softly as Hamar slowly grows her voice and performance into the tune with a measured and evocative swagger.
The vocal harmonies in the chorus, as she hits such blissfully high notes in her falsetto really bring the whole track to a wonderful closure to lose yourself in. Emotionally and thematically bringing out the feeling of a place, of a space, and what home really means to us all as a place where love is at its strongest and purest.
