Ebony Buckle has been known for years for her conceptual pop songwriting. Performing across the UK, Europe and Australia, she’s been met with praise, most notably for her 2021 debut album Disco Lasers. Teaser singles throughout 2024 have reignited excitement, with tracks like ‘Golden Sand’ receiving broad press acclaim.
A project of ambition, poise and fantastically cinematic writing, Ebony Buckle’s third album Hearts Get Started has now arrived into the world. From the opener ‘Fall Behind’, listeners can expect a vibrant core, driven by broad arrangements that create magical climaxes, earth-shattering moments of melancholy and a sense of captivating punchiness.
Defying genre, it bounces between folk, blues and pop, all done with a distinctive and new individuality. The ten-track feels like an adventure, as the audience you are brought through vast spaces and life-filled worlds. Ebony defies creative expectations, turning from the norm to find music that stirs feelings and passion. By the final track ‘Jupiters Rising’, Ebony enlightens the tale fully, wrapping the album in a sense of complete ambition and a readiness for the next chapter.
Ebony explains, This album is a collection of songs written over several years, some of them being my oldest. It feels a little like a puzzle, with each song being its own world and story. When you put them together, they are stepping stones along the way of my musical adventure. I like to think of it as a prequel to our first album Disco Lasers – it’s all the music that got me to that point.”
