I Swore is filled with the hauntingly sweet voice of Denai Moore. All of the tracks offer a fluid mellow feel, yet are still very polished. Self described as folk, I feel as if she has more soul and depth than a
lot of "regular" folk artists; I imagine she could fit into a variety of
genres as her music encompasses so much. Originally hailing from Jamaica, Denai creates a sense of belonging in her music, and will carry you along as her voice swells, creating beautiful harmonies with the piano. My favorite track off this album is the namesake of the EP: I Swore. The repetition of "I swore at my mother, for the first time" is really powerful because through very simple and delicate wording it shows the emotion of growing up as well as reaching that point where something slips and you feel as if a bit of your innocence is lost. The
music video shows the overconfidence of teenagers: how we can work potential situations up in our head, and when they actually play out we end up watching these cocky expectations crumble around us.

(Side Note: I actually got to see Denai perform this past summer at the We Love Green music festival in Paris and her voice sounds just as flawless and eloquent live as it does on her tracks)
