Los Angeles-based artist Emelia Austin released her debut record, From Another Sky, last month via Anxiety Blanket Records. One of the lead singles and standout tracks is “Shifting Weather,” which is also the first song that was written and recorded from the record, and helped kick off the rest of the album.
It’s a song that “asks the question what would the world look like if you fully loved yourself without fear?” A smart and assured folk-led indie rocker with a punchy spirit that captures an enchanting atmosphere with a devastating emotional effect, reminding of Big Thief, Angel Olsen, and Sharon Van Etten with an epic rocking outro that closes the album in memorable fashion.

What this song gave to me, is what this song is about. It asks the question what would the world look like if you fully loved yourself without fear? And in loving yourself you were patient with the parts you don’t like. We only live in this body one time. What would it look like if we let go of everything holding us back?
