It’s an exciting time for Scottish songstress Liv Dawn. Gearing up for an EP release later this week, the talented creative has unveiled another piece of the puzzle, with ‘The Mountains Are Calling’ serving as a heartwarming, electrifying preview of what’s to come. Spoiler: it’s all gold. Blissful, yet wholesome goodness steeped in bucolic folk tones and anthemic pop motifs. That’s what we can expect from ‘Hopeful Wandering’: a wondrous foray into eclectic folk, pop and country territories, with acoustic guitars at its forefront.
For now, though, we are thankful to Dawn for sharing ‘The Mountains Are Calling’ with us. The single carries all the marks of an escapism-driven cut, a bright and evocative jewel that feels hopeful, yet nostalgic. Liv’s malleable and elegant vocals enrich the arrangement with their bold and hypnotic character, wrapping listeners into a lyrical universe that’s empowering and fierce, a call to step into the unknown and rise up to the many challenges of life.
From that perspective, ‘The Mountains Are Calling’ is truly cathartic and intimate, as Liv Dawn seeks to connect to the listeners on a deeper level. Its hopeful contour will prove to be a central theme to the upcoming EP: “Each track reflects hope in different ways – through perseverance, looking ahead, or trusting that brighter days will come. Even in its most emotional moments, the record threads optimism throughout, capturing the idea of exploring, learning, and carrying hope wherever the journey leads.”
