all I am, Belinda Corpuz Debut EP Release,
By Paulina Corpuz
Toronto-Canada
April 23, 2017
Known as a strong collaborator in the Toronto independent music scene, Toronto-based, Filipino-Canadian musician, Belinda Corpuz, takes a different role as bandleader with the release of her debut EP, all I am.
Her first single, Storm, off of her debut EP, has been greeted with many positive reviews:
Storm is a fine example of her ability to push the boundaries of what we consider folk Electronic elements form and dissipate like bubbles rising from the deep, before a reverberating piano line carries the track to a percussive interlude reminiscent of The Acorn. Like the titular storm, this track seems to build and fade, making its way menacingly towards the heart of the squall, a chaotic mess of fluttering piano keys, booming backing vocals, percussive flurries and distorted guitars, before, like a storm, it passes into a sun-drenched outro. -For the Rabbits
...tender arrangements with a shimmering guitar in the distance of windswept debris and lush harmonies coalesce with Corpuzs divine vocals and words that radiate the space with hope and promise. -Phil Relegado, Ohestee
