about

Laura Hickli (Mohkínstsis/Calgary) is an internationally touring baroque pop songstress known for her dreamy, tightly-arranged soundscapes, exquisite vocals, evocative lyrics and her emotionally powerful performances. A classically trained pianist and member in several award-winning musical projects including Carla J. Easton and 36?, Hickli’s latest material has struck a spellbinding balance of spectral intimacy and bombast explosivity. Described as ‘indomitable,’ Laura Hickli will shatter any expectations of the way a piano should be played, a voice should be lifted, or a life should be lived.

‘Unholy Power’ is the lead single off Laura Hickli’s upcoming record “Both Feet in the World, At Least I Can Stand” releasing October 1st through North Pole Records.

"Unholy Power is about finding deeper and more authentic strength within myself by embracing chaos and mortality over depending on the stability and invincibility of being close with an all-knowing deity. Unholy Power is about shedding my religious skin, and with that losing what used to be my moral guide, life rulebook and 24 hour go-to therapist. It’s about realizing that the whole time I was bringing my burdens to the Lord, what I was actually doing was praying to myself… critically analyzing my way through issues, manifesting healing, and letting go of what I can’t control." - Laura Hickli

lyrics

Half the time I don’t know if I’m happy.
Other times, I don’t feel a thing.
And I wonder if there’s a reason.
I really hope it means something.
I used to pray to God when I felt lonely.
I swear I could tell him anything.
Looking endlessly for answers...
Proving myself wrong and right.
Is there a point in trying so hard?
I’m tugging at the roots of my tired hair.
Tighten my grip on this old dream...
But I don’t have a clue what’s happening.
I used to think that I was something special,
and used my charm like some unholy power.
But now I see I’m made of human.
And now I am stronger than before.
There is a point to trying so hard!
I focus on the reasons why I care.
Loosen my grip on this old dream...
I don’t always need to know what’s happening.
