Azure Ray's Hallelujah

Azure Ray are back with an enchanting cover of the Leonard Cohen classic, Hallelujah. Orenda Fink & Maria Taylor give this eminent song a unique cover with a vocal that drips like chilled grainy honey against a background of wild wintry wind.

The harmonies are choreographed exquisitely, plucked strings swim perfectly alongside a gently lilting piano but it is the stunning vocal with its super rich tones that makes this piece special. When it would be too easy to let blast at predictable moments the pair adeptly hold back and use harmony to add emphasis rather than simply ramping up the volume to the already punchy resonance.

A beautiful, well constructed, deftly delivered fresh version of this song for the festive season.
