Acclaimed electronic songstress HALIENE released her breakthrough studio album “Heavenly,” and it is utterly fantastic.

HALIENE is one of the electronic music genre’s most entrusted and sought-after singer-songwriters, who is now breaking ground as a solo artist. The lyrics on this musical effort are impressive and pure poetry at times.

It opens with “Vessels,” which instantly lues fans and listeners in this atmospheric collection, and it is followed by the pristine “Glass Heart” and the mid-tempo and vivacious “Underneath My Skin.”

“Reach Across The Sky” would make a great banger for any electronic music festival or nightclub while “Walk Through Walls” is breathy and nonchalant. Equally noteworthy is the controlled and resonant “Can’t Be Gone.”

“Parachute” is her spitfire collaboration with AMIDY with a killer drop to it. She takes her listeners on an expressive and heartfelt musical journey on “Million Miles.” “Forgive You Anyway” is filled with raw emotions and simply divine.

After the piano-laden and gorgeous “Butterfly,” it closes with the bombastic “Metamorphosis” with Markus Schulz and an outro of the title track “Heavenly.” HALIENE is the Sarah Brightman and Florence Welch equivalent of the electronic music genre.

“Heavenly” is available on digital service providers by clicking here. Every song on this album has its own identity, which makes it hard to select a personal favorite. “Heavenly” garners an A rating. HALIENE’s crisp and crystalline voice is too good to be mortal.
