Life has a way of teaching us hard lessons from time to time. The key is to manifest what you've learned from your journey, and not hold your past against you. Wisdom is not an attribute doled out lightly, maybe because it is rarely justified. But every now and then, an artist comes along to share with us wisdom gained from their life lessons so that maybe, just maybe, we won't have to learn the hard way.
Brooklyn-based Danish artist Emma Grankvist, more popularly known as eee gee, has crafted an intimate, daring, and honest album with her latest release Winning. Masterfully demonstrated throughout the album is Grankvist's ability to tell a story, her story. Singing honestly about recollections of her past and revelations about her character are what make this album so captivating. It also helps that her voice is so euphonious. This album oozes confidence in all the right ways, a feat evident on tracks like "Killing it" and "Favourite Lover." You could pull a line anywhere off this album and use it as an inspirational quote.
With a delightfully eclectic mix of indie-pop, folk, and soul, Winning is a thoroughly fantastic listening experience, not only for the nuggets of wisdom you can mine from the lyrics but because it contains a range of tracks that will move you, as well as make you want to move. On the track "Favourite Lover," Grankvist states, "I don't care what you're saying about me" - but after listening to Winning, it will most assuredly only be good things.
