Olivia Reid addresses the topic of mental illness in ways artful, original and undeniably compelling. “Runner’s High,” with its desolate downcast piano intro that brightens suddenly to a brisk dance-pop 4-on-the-floor movement (complete with a vocal falsetto) is a tuneful portrait of manic depression. “Wounds (Healing)” really made us sit up and appreciate Reid’s gently soulful way with the mic and her smart lyrics, her clever rhymes and compelling delivery. Your heart goes out to this singer, feeling the reality of her struggle with forces both within and without. “Madness” with its bold industrial electronics takes a different path to its objective, but the result is once again stellar. Reid turns her pain into art.
