If the hand-clap beats that introduce ‘Grown Unknown’ don’t quite grab your immediate attention, then the pure, lilting vocals of Lia Ices certainly will, as the Brooklyn-based chanteuse effortlessly coaxes this lovely number to elegant heights with her exquisite voice and sanguine spirit. ‘Grown Unknown’ is a thoroughly intoxicating song that remains gracefully understated throughout, with Ices’ soaring vocals floating over a delicate guitar strain and subtle string accompaniments, keeping the gossamer track grounded despite its airy essence.
The song examines what exists in the recesses of our heart that we’re still learning to understand, and how we process our desires despite our tendency to keep our passions guarded. We grow roots where we feel most at home, even though it goes against our fitful nature to ever settle down. If your feeling restless, this song can be your soundtrack as you explore somewhere new. ‘Grown Unknown’ is the title-track on Ices’ forthcoming sophomore record, which will be her first on the venerable Jagjaguwar label. In addition to this lovely number, the album also features a duet with Justin Vernon that is sure to be just as stunning. Lia Ices, you’ve certainly got our attention now.
