Award winning singer-songwriter-guitarist, Jackie Carlyle has made a positive change in her life and is finding solace in creating music with an ethereal glow and a modern-pop compass. Stepping away from the traditional sounding folk and alternative country proto-types which were the blueprints for her albums Into The Light and Souls In The Breeze, Carlyle has found her stride in welding a synth pop-wand with an ambient folk-sheen in her new songs, “The Friendship” and “The Sound Of Angles Singing.”
Collaborating with composer/arranger Alexsey Zahkarenko AKA Origen, Carlyle’s songs show her mettle for making inspirational material, and her desire to experiment with various sonic textures like glistening chime-like embers and undulating vibrations which produce a trance-like effect that holds the listener in a spellbinding grip. The music moves with a smooth eloquence that bodes well with Carlyle’s vocals, and engulfs her in an angelic lighting.
