Music Review : Kete Bowers’ ‘Holy Night (A Christmas Song From the War)’
Kete Bowers renders a touching Christmas song with latest release, ‘Holy Night (A Christmas Song From the War)’. The emotion underlying it is so incredibly complex. It is human in its melancholy, joyful in divinity, and infinite in faith. Kete tells profound tales of the human experience, elegantly packing soft acoustic glints with powerful emotion. This track is minimalistically strung with bare strings, ruminative baritones, and a bottomless silence. It is haunting and deafening in its grief in a way that is reminiscent of artists like Nick Drake and Bob Dylan.
Kete Bowers is a singer-songwriter and folk artist from Liverpool. His musical essence is wrapped up in raw and visceral perspectives of what it is to be human. Holy Night contrasts the miracle of Jesus with the violence and despair of war. He doesn’t hide it with music, but uses it gently as an aid to confront the listener with it. When it hits, it hits.
