If Revolutionary & Mood-Defying Art Could Be Heard Like Magical Moments of Whimsy, Justyna Jablonska’s ‘Unforeseen’ Is What They’ll Sound Like!

Hailing from Edinburgh, Justyna Jablonska has, over the years, proven her mastery in portraying different fragments of the brain with consistency so that we feel like a coherent picture. A cello maestro with a blessed knack for observation and improvisation, she delves into the extremes that make mankind what it is: constraint or surrender. As someone who’s witnessed boundless resistance and reminiscence of gold, good list. Whether you want to listen to classical Carnatic music or a sound that’s capable of being in a lot of different genre boxes. So whether you like music that’s reflective and deeply personal and raw, or just want to vibe to some avant-garde electropop that is both deeply personal and yet very fascinating, this album is easily the blessing that you need. Without any further ado, let’s dive right into it!

“Serenity, Surrender, and Silence: all wrapped into divine piano symphonies that make it almost impossible for your brain to wander elsewhere; this is a work of art.”

What starts off with hints of a subtle, ethereal embrace, this whimsical album starts with the title track, ‘Unforeseen’, and listening to it, one immediately gets an idea of what the album is going to feel like, and then they’re proven wrong with ‘If You Can Hear This’. Mixing in flavors of classical drum and bass, this feels like a crossover between the Renaissance period and the early 2000s. This is the freedom of expression almost all of us seek in our lives. Then ‘9 Daughters’ surprises us even further as the divine enchantress Monika joins forces with Justyna, and together they form a synergy that’s almost unparalleled to anything you’ll ever witness. There’s something distinctively calming, soothing, and divinely guided about this song.

What follows are beautiful moments of finely crafted and culturally rich instrumental escapes. ‘Levi & Nadia’, ‘Wayward’, and ‘Fabryka’, although all the tracks are instrumental, have got a lot of diversity and flavor to them when heard side by side. While one induces a sense of divinity, the other one makes you look at life through the lens of mystery and paranoia, but there’s a lot of beauty to all of them regardless. ‘The Pact’ is when Monika returns to the scene. What feels like a moment of revelation, this insinuates a lot of passion and fluidity, with the sense of belonging it carries. ‘Procession’ feels like the sound of when it all begins to fade. It’s dark, eerie, and very sad, but in the best way possible. All in all, I genuinely felt a different vibe from every song present here, and I feel like this is the kind of music that you cannot get enough of.
