NYC Vocalist Uta Habbig Offers A Captivating Musical Experience In “Songs from the Lighthouse” EP

German-born musician/vocalist and now NYC native Uta Habbig shares ‘Songs from the Lighthouse’ 5-track EP. Although a Jazz album, Habbig displays a natural knack to weave a multi-genre blend of folk, classical, and R&B styles to encompass her distinct, yet enchanting vocals. Through a gentle, soothing deliverance she engages her audience who most certainly, grip and embrace each ballad.

“Light of Heart” is the first song of the EP and Habbig offers comforting harmonies while a jazz ensemble of instruments and melodic arrangements cascade. The song sums up how music, regardless of the type, genuinely is the light in our hearts.

A backdrop of slightly upbeat instruments and innovative jazz sounds steer in “On My Way.” Habbig describes NYC with its neon lights, packed subways, and people chasing hopes and dreams. One thing is for certain, NYC lights will guide you even if you don’t know where you’re going. Habbig’s vocals emanate a sense of solace to concede that.

Somber piano keys lead the intro in “What Could Be.” Habbig offers encouragement during times the world feels too cold to face another day and when life seems to be unkind. She assures that she will be there during those times to wipe tears away and to turn eyes to a world of what could be.

“Little Red Lighthouse” sways with captivating keys and shadowing sounds. Lighthouses beam with hypnotism but also lead during ocean-blue sails and treacherous storms that at times, overhang. But Habbig also reminds us it’s lighthouses that outshine our inner darkness when it attempts to prevail. Again, her soothing voice turns emotions into a canvas of art.

Habbig brings in compelling, striking drums for the EP’s finale “Wanderlust.” Her composition serves as an ode to travelers or those starting anew in a world away from home. It also touches on the realization that although memories come along, there’s also so much left behind. The song depicts an array of emotions that Habbig authentically captures.

Uta Habbig, a triple threat of singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist delivers an inviting musical experience that audiences around the world can envelop and become mesmerized. Habbig’s vocal expression is underlined by uniting twines of jazz, folk, and R&B.
