MUSIC RECOMMENDATION: Alexandra Stréliski - The Hills (Video)


There are lots of new piano pieces released every day, I find that most are either clever, but overly complicated or pleasant, but dull. It is always a relief to hear something which is simply well-rounded, something which has a natural melodic flow. With Alexandra Stréliski latest single, The Hills, you get just that, a piece which articulates a story with a gentle, expressive touch. 

This is Alexandra's first new track in 4 years, of the song she says "The hills is a piece about the ups and downs of our human condition. It’s about our drive to evolve, to come out of our shells, and to feel at peace with the world in all its contradictions. I wrote it with a very strong impulse following the death of someone I loved, as though I was trying to reconcile the magnitude of my grief with the beauty of the life that had been there.”

The accompanying video provides an interesting backdrop to the piece.
