'Stations' is the new hauntingly beautiful single from 19-year-old Winnipeg singer-songwriter Taylor Janzen. Taking influence from Not Another Music Blog. favourites Phoebe Bridgers, Julien Baker and Snail Mail, Janzen fuses highly emotive lyrics with sparse guitar-driven instrumentals.
The song opens with a minimalistic finger picked guitar part before Janzen's evocative and dulcet vocals are introduced. The lyrics are incredibly personal as the Canadian based artist aims to break the silence about abuse.
Turning to songwriting as an outlet to express her feelings instead of religion, Janzen says "'Stations' is about the isolating and complicated feelings when one experiences psychological abuse from a loved one regardless of the nature of their relationship".
Janzen's voice is incredibly endearing. Her use of melodies and dynamics makes ensure 'Stations' sounds fresh and interesting throughout. On this new single, Taylor Janzen has released a stunning effort that is both lyrically and musically fantastic. The slow build guitars and layered backing vocals, as well as the lyrical content, ensure this is one of the most heartbreaking tracks we've heard this year so far.
'Stations' is out now and Janzen's debut EP 'Interpersonal' is released on the 10th of August 2018.
