Latanya Alberto’s latest release 'Almost There' is a quietly powerful moment from her forthcoming debut album, centred on the courage it takes to trust yourself when you’re standing at the edge of change. “It’s about finding the courage in yourself to take a leap of faith. It almost comes down to reconnecting with parts of yourself that already exist” she says, and that sentiment sits at the heart of the track. Amsterdam-based and multidisciplinary in her practice, Latanya is a singer, songwriter and performing artist who has had music in her life from an early age, beginning her professional career as an independent artist at just 19. Latanya brings a gentle, reassuring vocal that never forces the message, instead letting it land through beautifully layered harmonies and patient phrasing. Lines like 'The tightest grip is release / Spread your arms / I watch you fly, I watch you fly' offer comfort without denying the weight of doubt. It’s an encouraging track that acknowledges how scary the leap can be, while softly reminding you that growth comes from choosing to jump anyway. -Rachel Fryer
