Confront your inner shadows: ‘Morning Mirrors’ by Nessi Gomes

‘Morning Mirrors’ by Nessi Gomes

Born on the idyllic island of Guernsey to a Portuguese family, acclaimed singer-songwriter Nessi Gomes skilfully combines the evocative, emotional nuances of traditional fado music with a bold, contemporary sensibility that is second to none. 

Nessi’s musical journey has taken her to 30 countries, where she has performed at numerous prestigious festivals and well-known stages. Additionally, she has established herself as a pioneer in the field of vocal development by creating the Vocal Odyssey workshops and retreats, helping thousands of people discover and embrace the spirit of their voice. These workshops have become a source of inspiration for anyone seeking a deeper connection to their vocal expression.

Now, she is back with a new release and is once again able to inspire. ‘Morning Mirrors’ is the name of her profound work, which delves into the darker facets of femininity. The song explores the complex and often painful themes of jealousy and comparison, as well as their far-reaching consequences. Gomes’ personal journey is reflected in the song, highlighting the challenges that arise when experiencing the duality of human nature. The song reveals the hidden insecurities that drive some women to seek validation by belittling others. Through poetic and haunting lyrics, ‘Morning Mirrors’ invites listeners to confront the darker side of their own psyche and recognise the deep-rooted emotions that often lurk in the shadows.

The musical development of the song can be described as outstanding over its entire length. At the beginning, we encounter Nessi Gomes almost alone, while as the piece progresses, a soundscape emerges that increasingly takes centre stage, yet still allows Nessi the necessary freedom for her performance, finally reaching a climax of harmonious togetherness.
