TerraTara’s brand of upbeat, almost reggae infused folk pop music is distinctively her own sonic identity. The jovialness of Forward can’t be stated enough, it’s a song that perfectly captures a sort of blind positivity to allow you to move on in life without letting anything hold you back and keep you planted behind. The Canadian based song-writer has a kind of lackadaisical and laidback energy to her performance that leaves you floating, bobbing from left to right as you let the intricate string work just placate you and wash away the anxieties and tensions that may be holding you behind.
It’s got a casualness to its core, but a friendliness to its emotion. You can’t help but find yourself swooning to the melody and letting yourself let go and just, well, move forward. Sometimes all it takes is the right song to lift you out of a rut and TerraTara brings an energy that’s hard to resist here.
