The music of Austin-based singer-songwriter Cheryl Bliss is difficult to describe, which is probably a good thing as she isn’t immediately similar to anything else I’ve heard of late.

Bliss possesses the unconventional approach of Kate Bush, the lyrical aptitude of Aimee Mann and sheer otherworldliness of Alison Goldfrapp. Her songs live on a different plane - one where everything is more rich and colorful and soars along with little effort. And while a cohesive set, each song is distinct, it’s only true commonality being Bliss’ ethereal voice.

Bliss’ latest album, the appropriately titled The Sweet Soul Light, is an amazing and lush collection of songs that feature the songwriter at a place where magic is surely happening.
