Silent Heart

The foundation of all that is beautiful can be found on this
new release by Kerani entitled Silent Heart. For me this album is about finding those
quiet spaces within you in a world that has gone literally crazy, those silent moments
we can all find deep inside, and thus this very album is an anthem for solitude,
and a sanctuary of truth and peace.
The opening composition is deeply moving, and is the proud
title track Silent Heart. The
textured layers of piano and orchestration give us our directions to a peaceful
mind along the corridors of confusion, emphasised by the creative minor
segments within the arrangement.
This release is a far more piano based album by the artist,
and as such the keys caress a more delicate palate of tone and timbre, the soft
orchestration adds to that tapestry of touching melodies and moods, like on the
offerings Colour the World and Solitude, both utterly splendid pieces,
but both bathed in a determination to seek balance and tranquillity.
It is through a desire to want better, that through our
meditative explorations, we can know better, and thus eventually do better. I
was amazingly moved by a track that made me think of that and it’s called Tides of Emotion, and nestled
blissfully towards the latter half of the album, this is such a powerful
offering that one could easily imagine our tears cleansing our fears to this
soundtrack of stunning abundant quality.
One must say great things about the symbiotic balance between
the orchestration and the piano of Kerani
on this album; she has utterly nailed the juxtaposition of her piano
performance and the symphonic arrangements, in fact to a point that each
composition is a harmonious delight to listen to, an example of which can be
found on the concluding piece called Anthem,
if ever an album was an anthem for the peace seeker then this is it, and this
grand yet lush piece must be the soundtrack for that ultimate desire.
Silent Heart by Kerani is not a step in a different direction for the artist; it is
a musical evolution in motion, it is a cathartic collection of moving tones
that see her growth and progression in the genre of neo classical music. There
is a true sense of honesty in this whole album that the world should embrace,
as it truly seeks a place of quietude and serenity, a warm safe home where the
beating of a single heart, a Silent
Heart of oneness can be heard and embraced, as such, this release will be a
major hit on the charts, and should be welcomed by all seeking sanctuary in
music.
