The song is a unique blend of soul, pop, folk, and jazz, which creates a captivating and explosive instrumental. Tara’s angelic vocals, sung over the whimsical, child-like instrumental, add a free-spirited vibe to the track, guaranteed to leave the listener intrigued and excited.
“Hello Human” wouldn’t be possible without the collaboration between Tara Van and Malory Torr, a seamless blend of Tara’s lyrics and Malory’s playful backdrop. The song was recorded in Patrick Cedersberg and Torr’s home studio in Baby Point, Toronto, adding a personal touch to the music. Tara’s inspiration comes from Astra Taylor’s book “The Age of Insecurity,” and her message of mindfulness further connects the audience to the song, making them appreciate the shared experience. According to Tara herself, ”Hello Human” is “…an ode to the natural world and a call to be more mindful of the delicate harmony of life on earth.”
Musically, the song’s colorful instrumental, Tara’s soaring vocals, and the fun-loving mix of genres and sounds are sonically cohesive. The melodic instrumental and Tara’s unique singing cadence, characterized by its playful yet profound delivery, create an innocent, child-like aurora to the song, which feels safe and calming to the listener.
