Country star Brooke Moriber is more than just a country star. With ‘Half a Heart’, her latest release, Moriber gives us a heart-rending ballad of epic proportions that is one-hundred percent ready for mainstream radio attention, with rich lyrics, virtuosic vocals, and masterful production.
Brooke Moriber operates from New York. She is a singer and songwriter who is challenging her country background with her latest release and succeeding in the task with flying colors. First things first, Moriber’s voice is spectacular here. Spectral and deeply stirring, she is constantly toying with the listeners, shifting her hearty belts into the gentlest croons in the matter of a single syllable. Soulful to say the least, Brooke Moriber is a fantastic singer, and ‘Half a Heart’ is an adequate representation of her talent.
The music is no slouch either. A lush arrangement that continues to grow throughout the song’s 3 and a half minutes runtime, with pauses, a scorching crescendo, and a colorful, bluesy guitar solo, ‘Half a Heart’ is guaranteed to wow the audiences with the effectiveness of its melodies, swells, and atmospheres, and being of this grand scale, I can easily see those audiences being stadium-sized.
And Moriber certainly deserves attention. She is well-cut to grace mainstream radio stations; she knows how to cast a spell with her voice, and how to write a delightful piece of pop. ‘Half a Heart’ is a heart-warming piece of soul-pop that I certainly won’t have enough of for days.
