There is hardly a worse horror scenario for singers than losing their voice. This happened to Dana Gavanski during the self-imposed quarantine as she began work on her second album, WHEN IT COMES. The struggle for one’s own voice forms the leitmotif of the long player alongside mythology.

In contrast to the restrained, puristic debut of the Canadian-Serbian artist, the arrangements on WHEN IT COMES get out of hand. But the songs still have the same melancholy nostalgia. The pieces are less pop-like, often depicting a search. In the last third of “The Day Undfolds” sax and guitar make the track a reference to David Bowie in his Thin White Duke phase.
The hypnotic “Indigo Highway” seems like a sunny childhood memory with its Moog Grandmother. Gavanski’s greatest weakness isn’t her own. Far too often she sounds like a Cate Le Bon outlet, which severely scratches the music’s own identity. Nevertheless, there are enough successful songs on WHEN IT COMES that show an individual, whimsical approach, so that Gavanski again represents more than a simple copy.
