In the expansive sphere of experimental music and neo-classical composition, Portland-based Mary Knoblock is a must-watch artist, blending genres with finesse and reshaping the musical landscape in her own way. Known for her unique fusion of electronica, jazz and classical styles, Mary Knoblock is pioneering a movement that empowers women in the music industry through her platform, Produced by a Girl.
Produced by a Girl has helped Mary’s mission come to fruition, providing a gateway for female producers and artists in various aspects of the industry, from sync to distribution and publishing. As the CEO and founder of Produced by a Girl Records as well as Aurally Records, Mary Knoblock’s endeavours are instrumental in paving the way for women in music.
A successful artist in her own right, Mary’s musical journey began in 2016 with her debut album Elevate, and since then, she’s been on a relentless quest of creativity, releasing an astonishing amount of music over the last seven years, culminating in the recent success of her album Mustang Runners. Now, she unveils her latest single, “Heaven’s Bride,” a precursor to her upcoming LP, Halos, set to drop next year.
With “Heaven’s Bride,” Mary Knoblock serves up a stunningly atmospheric alternative pop song, brimming with soft instrumentation, airy textures and delicate vocal delivery. Opened by the warm tones of clean guitar, Mary’s voice enters to elegantly float above, hovering in a sea of reverb that seemingly stretches for miles.
Soothing touches of piano add to the soundscape as Mary guides us through an immersive ambient scene that wraps you up and completely envelops you in a hypnotic experience. The stripped back arrangement and live performance recording allow Mary’s vocal performance to capture a moment of pure musical beauty on this utterly mesmerising and entirely original song that frames her unique sonic vision in a new light.
“Heaven’s Bride” also serves as a poignant tribute and fictional representation of a love story. The lyrics touch on themes of heartache, the journey of love and the intersection of timeless narratives found in literary novels or cinematic masterpieces. With her forthcoming record Halos on the horizon, 2024 promises to be another exciting year for this exciting and innovative artist.
