Search - Tima Montemayor :: Until Now

Maybe it?s the ethereal angelic innocence in her voice. Or maybe it?s the quiet strumming of a haunting guitar with the exotic beats of the percussion. Or the frankness of her open-journal lyrics and lonesome vulnerability she exudes while singing about heartbreaks and love lost. Perhaps it?s a combination of all that, along with her exuberant talent and passion, but right from the opening track of her debut full-length CD Until Now, Tima effortlessly entrances us to step into a different world with her ? a world that?s uniquely and beautifully hers. Melancholic and introspective, ?Until Now? chronicles Tima?s emotional journey of failed relationships and explores bitter sweet universal themes such as regret, betrayal, hope and regaining faith. Simply by listening to her play the piano and pour her heart out through lyrics so emotionally poignant, you feel as though you are transported into a small smoky bar where she closes in all distance and creates a sense of urgent intimacy where you can feel her; you can almost touch her. Featuring 14 original tracks, ?Until Now? is truly an album of no musical boundaries. Using both traditional instruments such as guitar, piano, and drums and exotic percussion from around the world (African Indonesian, Indian etc.), Tima defines her own unique sound with an eclectic fusion of world music, rock, pop, jazz and classical. From the catchy pop chorus of ?Raining? to the piercing, deeply personal ?Like an Angel? to the slow jam of ?This Dance,? Tima paints a portrait of a woman so hauntingly honest and human that you are bound to be swept away in an ocean of emotion and soothed by its caressing waves. A ca thar tic experience, listening to Tima will at once move you to tears by her heartfelt story-telling and be uplifted at the same time with a renewed sense of hope as she sings of finding peace within oneself. Come step inside to the mystical and enthralling soundscape of Tima and let her move you. Experience the magic. Experience the passion. Experience the emotion. Experience Tima ?Until Now?.
