Description of On the Way
On The Way finds Abra Moore completely at ease in her own skin and voice. It's a ferociously quiet album that unfolds gently but packs an emotional wallop with its unwavering honesty. It's an album full of subtle moods. There's always been an atmospheric quality to Moore's writing - maybe that's why Hollywood keeps seeking out her music. Moore's songs have appeared in more than 25 films and television shows including Cruel Intentions, Sliding Doors (with Gwenyth Paltrow), Happy Texas, Party of Five, Dawson's Creek, Felicity and Melrose Place. Her song "Big Sky" was used in the super-hot video game The Sims with one little twist--she had to rerecord all the vocals in Simlish, the language used in the game.In many ways, On The Way captures the cinematic magic of a great film. From the opening seduction of "Into The Sunset" to the closing reprise of the title track, it transports the listener to a different space. It's a roll-the-windows-down-and-drive kind of record. "Making this record I found the sweet balance," says Moore. "My life is good and happy. These songs are little snapshots of where I'm at. I tried to capture and present these experiences as honestly as I could. If you just stay honest and true, you'll connect with the listeners. You become part of their lives. That's a privilege you can't take for granted."
Reveling in the sheer joy of making music, living in the moment and enjoying the process is an integral part of Moore's journey. That's why On The Way is so aptly titled. It's all about the journey--life unfolding in all its mystery, agony and majesty. True art holds a mirror up and reflects back the hard truths, as well as the ones that enlighten. On The Way is a masterpiece of mood and honesty from one of the preeminent artists working in popular music.
The spirit of Lilith Fair renews itself in the music of Austin's Abra Moore, who flashed breakout potential with 1997's Strangest Places (which earned her a Grammy nomination) but who all but disappeared over the decade since. Here, she reunites with producer/multi-instrumentalist Mitch Watkins, who provides atmospheric arrangements behind the wispy-voiced romanticism of Moore's vocals. Like the idealized, poeticized boy of the opening "Into the Sunset" (an update of the Icarus myth), her vocal airiness occasionally threatens to float away. Fortunately, the support of accompanists including vocalist Will Sexton, percussionist Pat Mastelotto, and trumpeter Ephraim Owens, along with guitarist-keyboardist Watkins, provides counterweight ballast. On the title cut, Moore's horn-like vocals blend so well with Owens's flugelhorn that it can be hard to distinguish between them. --Don McLeese
