MUSIC: Vanessa Forero - Same Boat

Multi-talented Vanessa Forero has just released her music video for 'Same Boat' a single off her new EP 'From the Uproar' set to be released on the 28th March. The Indie/Folk singer touches on her Latino roots to create a unique sound to her new EP which she wrote and produced herself.

The British/Columbian singer-songwriter has created a foot tapping track with 'Same Boat' a song about how timing is everything. The song still holds an optimistic sound to it, and paints an instant smile upon your face, with the use of playful Latino instruments, Vanessa Forero has got herself a completely unique track. Along with her unique sound, she has a wide range when it comes to her vocals. Quickly changing from high to low and slower paces to faster. This only adds to the fun within the song. It's incredibly well written and produced as well as being catchy.

The music video follows the style of the song, in its quirky feel. Starting out playing to a cut out crowd sat in boat on stage picking at her guitar, with a country bar feel to the atmosphere. Gradually, she is taken by mermaids and transformed into one herself. It's a very fun music video and does the song complete justice.

Listening the rest of 'From the Uproar' the quality in the music is equally as brilliant as 'Same Boat'. All the songs have that Indie/Folk feel to them. 'Heaven Knows' is a little bit more deeper and gives me shivers. It has a very distant feel to it and a darker sound which is the complete opposite to 'Same Boat'. 'I'll Be Wrong Again' is a little sweeter sounding. Slower than 'Same Boat' it tells a story about wanting to be brave even if you get it wrong. Completely beautiful in it's own right and showing off Forero's talent. My favourite track on the EP 'Raven' has more of her Columbian influences opposed to the previous track. With a haunting feel to the song, the song is very powerful. The entire EP is incredible. It's beautifully written and produced, and her vocals are gorgeous throughout especially on the final track singing in Spanish for 'Anhela'. Forero has demonstrated on this EP that she can do anything with her music. Check out her EP on the 28th March and you won't be disappointed.
