It’s always inevitable that when a new female artist begins to break through she is compared to Kate Bush. It’s an undoubted honour, Johanna Glaza maybe does come nearest to the resemblance on occasion, Often angelic, sometimes gravelly, she displays a maturity way beyond her obvious young years and writes songs as though she has been composing them for decades.
There’s an air of the unknown about her too. Google her name and you’ll found the odd interview, even her website is minimalist to say the least, and the mystery can only add to the intrigue of her music. her first EP “Silence Is King” released last year came lovingly packaging in a geometric folding of heavy gauge polypropylene, and “The Letter To New York” EP released earlier this year was wrapped in lace fabric with a rolled paper scroll attached to delicately keep the enigma burning.
Her voice is nothing short of beautiful at times. EP openers “Shall I Be A Saint” and “Letter To New York” maybe hold the nearest affinity to Bush and in the same way, her voice enthrals.
Make no mistake, Johanna could be a huge star in the making. Her ability to craft simple, bare tunes and yet make them seem packed with atmosphere her vocal range is nothing short of staggering.
