'I'm becoming more in touch with and aware of myself' DianaGordon
, was largely about searching: for the answers to long-held family secrets, for the ways out of past traumas, and for the keys to her own heart. The EP's five tracks yielded catharsis, supported by minimal, pensive arrangements.she's a woman still searching, but where she once was lost, she's been found. In the song's opening lyrics, Gordon outlines a prophecy of a more fulfilled self:"I see who I'm becoming," she sings, her voice taking on a longing yodel.
That expansion allows for a spiritual shift, both in sound and mind. Thus,"Becoming" becomes something new, morphing a percussive trap arrangement, which Gordon rides like a wave. In subsequent scenes, she is shown alongside a crew of women of color, all playing on the same team , twerking at a house party and posing in bikinis poolside. All throughout, Gordon's idiosyncratic, totally original style is on full display. These days, she's shining and she knows it.
I feel like God is determined to teach me there is no such thing as control. Not over this pimple on my face, not over this oval nail shape that I asked to be almond, not over these lashes that are supposed to last for 2 weeks, and certainly not over my music. In 2012, I was writing Afro/English Zulu folk and I was going viral, I didn't know how to keep the momentum and I didn't have the resources or the team or the perfect plan to keep going so I just stopped.
The song has some interesting shifts... the music is tranquil before erupting into a trap beat. You adjust your singing style accordingly, and sometimes you keep it the same. It sounds very loose and free-flowing. What kinds of sounds/ideas are you experimenting with on your new music? I've always loved Tracy Chapman and Sarah McLachlan. The part of my voice that I get the most pleasure listening to is when I fall into this natural folky, grungy, ethereal tribal yodel. It's a lot to say, but its pretty understandable when you hear it. I aim to push the boundaries vocally with that sound, experimenting over progressive hip-hop beats, and then just simple vocal and guitar, where there is no room to hide.
