Lynn Hollyfield has returned with her most powerful folk album to date. The album is entitled Diving In and it is an important musical collection filled with folk songs detailing themes including change, loss, love, and navigating this crazy world we live in. Collaborating with Grammy-nominated Seth Glier who produced the album, the music also includes other talented players who helped bring the music to light.
Leading single “Blindspot” is an emotional song that is deeply personal to Lynn. The folk tune details the artists’ loss of loved ones to drugs and shows how loss can shape us. Colliding acoustics and Lynn’s signature vocal tone, lure the listener in until the last note. Then there is “We Are The People”, a hopeful song inspiring peace, love, and togetherness. The song details the importance of protesting what is wrong and joining together to fight fascism. “We Are The People” is smooth like a lullaby with warmly lit vocals and gentle instrumentation. With “For Emma”, the award-winning songwriter pens a loved letter of encouragement to her own daughter. Bluegrass-infused sonics and lively melodies add joy to every listen.
All in all Diving In offers something for everyone. For fans of bluegrass, folk, roots music and even pop, the album is a must hear.
