    Listening to Belladonna feels like stepping into a barren and stripped-down landscape where beauty hides in plain sight. Lying in bed with headphones on, the sound of Lanois’ pedal steel wrapped me up. I cannot explain why its overtones are so haunting, but they pull at me in a way few instruments do.

    The album unfolds like a single atmosphere more than a collection of songs. It is moody and haunting, with small glimpses of hope. “Frozen” feels perfect to me, balancing that sense of desolation with something quietly luminous.

    What makes Belladonna so striking is how unadorned it is. It does not rush or demand attention. It drifts through space and leaves room for silence, resonance, and reflection. The pedal steel is the voice throughout, wordless but full of emotion, carrying me into a place that is both stark and strangely comforting.

    Favorite track: Frozen
