HIRIE released her new album, “Mood Swing” today while elevating her star power to the next level! If you’ve ever been to an HIRIE concert you know that she and her band consistently bring some of the highest energy in the reggae scene and I absolutely think this is their best album yet. We all know mood swings! They come and they go and HIRIE is able to flawlessly cover a lot of ground/emotions in her simple yet powerful songwriting. I love how “Mood Swing” highlights HIRIE’s talent and sweet spot of reggae, rock and pop.

Speaking of amazing songwriting, HIRIE opens the album with the track “Diamond”. The song is very inspirational and I love the visual writing and message to find ways to grow and change for the better. HIRIE’s voice is gorgeous as are the saxaphone parts laid down by Chris Del Camino and bass line from Andy Flores.

“Thief In The Night” is a sexy love song with a catchy hook and a hint of electronic music. Once again HIRIE does a great job blending genres and most importantly makes music that makes you want to dance the night away!

The album has several features and one my favorites is Matisyahu in the single “Blacklist”. The song reminds me that it’s good to have space and personal time even when meeting that special someone is tempting.
