A highly mesmerising piece, ‘Trees Grow Both Ways’ aids a listening experience that’s poignant and reflective, but also cathartic and rather sacred. We do approach the record with a certain reverence; the contrast between its elegance and its hidden melancholy is truly striking, and it all feels as if we were witnessing something special. We are indeed; that’s how peculiar and unique TINY MESS’s artistry is. Hailing from Bordeaux, the French songstress unveils an aural panorama that’s precious and lush, blending pop relatability with jazz sensibility.
Such a quirky and introspective marriage of intents is well supported by TINY MESS’s magnetic, gentle vocals, wrapping listeners into a hazy fever dream, a place where we can all abstract and reflect on the reality around us. ‘Trees Grow Both Ways’ particularly focuses on the ever-growing aspect of our society, urging the listeners to also look inward and find a new path forward. The French creative is certainly bold and courageous in that aspect, as she uncovers and dismantles old beliefs and outdated truths. The goal is resilience and sustainable development.
‘Trees Grow Both Ways’ also ships with a stunning and meaningful music video, a visual metaphor that sees TINY MESS covered in a fancy, pompous dress in what’s described as “a delusion of hubris”. Delving deeper into the song, the French talent explains: “‘Trees grow both ways’ is an invitation to explore as much towards the sky as into the depths of one’s certainties”.
