The Reason Why is the debut solo album from talented Irish singer and songwriter Helena Connolly. Inspired by Artists such as Emmylou Harris, Jewel and Mary Chapin Carpenter, Helena has crafted an album of fresh music to see her emerge as one of the brightest lights in the Irish music scene. There is a quiet eloquence in this collection of songs which were all written by Helena bar one, a fresh take on Julie Millerâs song âForever Has Come To An End. âThe songs themselves are thoughtful and heartfelt musings on life that have a positivity and sincerity sometimes lacking in many modern artists. The production is modern, lush and full yet uncluttered allowing her stunning vocals and heartfelt delivery to always shine. The album moves from the acoustic, (Thatâs what The World Is) to songs that groove in pulsing rhythms and floating electric guitars, echoing Harrisâ Red Dirt Girl (If You Lead) to beautiful old school simplicity (Morning Light.) Standout tracks include the poetic and poignant âNovember Haze,â a song casting an eye on the tragedy of road deaths and the beautiful piano driven ballad âThe Shape of Loveâ. To classify this record would be difficult. It is a classic fusion of Country, rock and folk in a musical landscape that draws on many genres. This record is indeed what the soul of music should be beautiful, honest and pure.
