Bisan Toron's follow-up album to 'Backstage Reveries.' Her distinctive vocal style, powerful compositions and soulful lyrics blend east and west, classical and contemporary: the result is bold, nuanced, unique and fresh. From the liner notes: 'Toward the Roar' is a turning toward my biography, into the cracks where the nameless waits to be heard. As I allow these impressions to enter my breath, they grow into a vocal color, and then a melody cradled in words. The result is this album: each song is a moment of communion with nature, a loved one, or life event. It is both the movement toward the voiceless cry in the body and a roar of joy toward the sky, from where I stand.
