2024 – Best of America | Pop
“Alternative Pop singer-songwriter Tess Posner takes the listener on a journey into the realms of the subconscious to shine a light on the hidden parts of ourselves. Tess’s intimate lyrics and enchanting sonic landscapes invite the listener on a journey inside to self-discovery and healing. She weaves together ethereal synths and dynamic orchestral elements together with her lush vocal harmonies that lay over a bed of deep-sounding drums and bass. Tess’s approach to songwriting is one that delves deep into storytelling, metaphor and sensory imagery to connect the listener immediately into the song. By weaving together universal and relatable themes with melodies, lyrics and music that hook the ear, listeners get pulled into a hypnotic journey that they want to keep coming back to.
Tess also weaves in spiritual practices to channel nature, ancestral wisdom, and somatic attunement to pull from as inspiration. She has training in multiple healing modalities including a Masters in Social Work, Reiki, shamanic and ancestral healing and believes music is alchemy, can transform stuck energy, old patterns and give voice to what is crying out to be heard and seen. Her 2023 release “Alchemy” was a collaboration with multi-platinum award winning producer Rob Wells (Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber).
Tess says Alchemy “represents that process of transmuting painful parts of our past and feelings into a kind of “gold” that fuels meaning and healing.” “Alchemy” has climbed to over 500,000 streams on Spotify and surpassed 1 million views on TikTok, and Volcano was a finalist in both the USA Songwriting and Songwriters Universe competitions. The songs have been featured in the #1 Award-Winning Podcast on iTunes ‘Women Of Substance’.Earmilk said of the first track on Alchemy, “”Feral Child” stands as a testament to Tess Posner’s exceptional songwriting talent and her ability to create music that strikes a chord deep within the hearts of her listeners.”
