Excerpt from the article: Zaliza’s "Phoenix Rising” takes you on a journey of personal and creative transformation.
“…The slight processing of vocals to echo and shimmer at the end of a line gives a twinge like the ghost of your old self trying to creep back into your consciousness. You have to remember to shake off as you enter a new phase of your life. When the song goes out with what sounds like synthesized flutes giving an ascending signal to the end of the day it feels as though you have joined the narrator of the song in effecting her casting off the raiments of her previous life and donning those more appropriate to the life she wants to lead.”
