IN ‘THE OTHER SIDE,’ ADAYA SUCCESSFULLY REIMAGINES FOLK MUSIC THROUGH THE BRIGHT WINDOW OF INTELLIGENT SONGCRAFT AND GENUINELY EXPERIMENTAL ARRANGEMENTS. IT IS AN INTENSELY VARIED AND OFTEN MESMERISING RELEASE FROM A UNIQUE VOICE.

"The Other Side’s title speaks of journeys, of transcendence, of being able to see the world from different perspectives, and even of the mystery of the afterlife. All of these themes are explored on an album that successfully reimagines folk music through the bright window of intelligent songcraft and genuinely experimental arrangements. Adaya courts her influences gleefully, but her wanderlust is such that she never hangs around long enough to see them become sterile. The album is essentially about moving forward, both personally and musically. It is an intensely varied and often mesmerising release from a unique voice."
