Anselm Ahman's latest album, Somebody Died, is a powerful and emotional journey through grief and loss. The album's themes are heavy, exploring the pain and confusion that come with losing someone close, but Ahman's music shines with a sense of hope and resilience.
From the opening track, "Empty Room," Ahman's haunting vocals and sparse instrumentation set the tone for the album. Songs like "Hollow" and "Lost Without You" are achingly beautiful, with Ahman's lyrics capturing the raw emotions of grief.
But despite the heaviness of the subject matter, Somebody Died is not a depressing album. Ahman's music is infused with a sense of warmth and comfort, as if he's reaching out to listeners and saying, "I know how you feel, and you're not alone."
The album's standout track is "Memories," a poignant tribute to a lost loved one that is both heartbreaking and uplifting. Ahman's voice soars over a gentle piano melody, and the song's chorus is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, memories can bring us comfort and solace.
