It Was Divine
Alina Baraz
The 26-year-old’s full-length debut album
has been a long time coming – her first EP,
with electronic artist Galimatias, having been
released back in the spring of 2015. However,
reviews suggest it has been worth the wait,
serving as a fascinating exploration of a
painful breakup.
FIVE FACTS:
- Alina Baraz was born in Cleveland, Ohio on
September 24, 1993. - She later moved to Los Angeles, California,
and discovered Galimatias’ music online. - She signed a record deal with
independent label Mom + Pop Music
in 2016. - “I wanted to heal with this album,” Baraz
told Apple Music about It Was Divine, adding:
“I wanted to nourish myself, to understand
myself, to mark a fresh start.” - Clash writer Gemma Ross has hailed the
album as a “track-for-track triumph”.
