La Force by La Force

La Force’s self-titled debut album is a statement of individuality and pluralism: an ode to the self, and to the loss of self. La Force distills a moment in her life when she became a mother for the first time while her own father was dying, cornering Engle into a reckoning with her own identity. Where she had always been a daughter, she was now a mother; where she had always had a parent, she now was the parent. For Engle, this moment manifested as both a total crisis and total fulfillment.

That dual energy is heard throughout the nine enchanting songs of La Force. This is orbital soul music, dark and glinting, balancing grace and ferocity, analog and synthetic sound, and Engle’s magnetic spirituality at its core. From the scrappy taunt of “Ready To Run,” to the quiet but incisive electro-pop of “You Amaze Me,” and the sedate haze of “Lucky One,” La Force unfolds the indefinable range of her music’s allure.
