Wat blijft die Helga Gabriel toch zalige en pakkende nummers schrijven. Deze keer gaat ze de dark folk toer op en laat ze opnieuw horen wat een straffe zangeres ze is. Al bij al is deze song vrij ingetogen en neemt de akoestische gitaar het voortouw. Toch blijft het geheel zeer intens. Derde single in de aanloop naar het nieuwe album en opnieuw een schot in de roos. Ik krijg bijna een krop in de keel van zoveel moois.
Dit schreef ik over haar eerste EP The Autumn Lament.
Wrapped in Mist verschijnt op 24 november 2023 via Season Of Mist.

"I've had my fair share of battles with mental health over the years." Says vocalist Helga Gabriel. "It's in those moments that I need music the most."
The creation of "Alive Again" bears testament to Helga's personal struggle during a profoundly dark period of her life. This track serves as a cathartic vessel, providing her with the emotional outlet to convey the profound emotions that characterized this challenging chapter.
