Kaurna Cronin - Harsh Beauty (2022)

Karuna Cronin has premiered his new album titled ‘Harsh Beauty’. When I heard that first track that introduced me to Kaurna I heard something that captivated me. Kaurna is a storyteller as much as he is a songwriter. Those are the kind of artists that stay with you in your music collection. The kind you can relate to. But, along with that, we get an intricate orchestrator of music. The music is built as if Kaurna is taking each song from what it is and making them into what they should be. Individuality building into a collective. Almost a concept, if you will. A broad mic or pop, folk, light rock, Americana, and much more, ‘Harsh Beauty’ gives us a musical retrospective from an artist who knows himself and has come to terms with his music.
