New York, NY (Top40 Charts) AAA/Americana singer-songwriter, Arielle Silver, released her new album, A Thousand Tiny Torches, a journey of self and re-discovery of her dreams through nostalgia and beautiful storytelling. Silver's emotional lyrics, reassuring tones, and intricate melodies embrace listeners throughout the album. A Thousand Tiny Torches is now available on digital music platforms worldwide.
Produced by Shane Alexander, A Thousand Tiny Torches is a delicate representation of Arielle Silver's restoration of inspiration and revitalization of her dreams. The collection of songs on this album displays her relationship with songwriting and storytelling. "The songs on A Thousand Tiny Torches are all, in some way or another, about finding hope amid despair," explains Silver. "They're story-songs, in a way searching for some kind of illumination amid a struggle with loss. Though I didn't write the songs consciously hewing to a theme, throughout the album, there's a recurring motif of light in the dark -- headlights, porch lights, lighthouses, bolts of lightning, fireflies, and stars. Though the songs emerged out of personal stories, they all touch on universal emotions and experiences."
The first song on the album, "You Were Light," is luminous and uplifting in its forgiveness after a rocky relationship, and accompanied by the reassuring strums of the guitar. Another album track, "Someone Else's Dream," describes the rigorous internal battle between who you are and who you want to be. The record's lead singles, "
Headlights" and "What Really Matters," show her dynamic energy of choosing to be hopeful by the uplifting charm of uncertainty and empowerment. Most recently, these singles have been praised by American Songwriter, For Folk's Sake, Americana Highways, and have been played on radio stations like NPR affiliates WFWM, WVTF, and WMNF, California Country Radio, Gimme Country, and more.
