Almero's music possesses a keen emotional honesty, while his lyrics, delivered entirely in Afrikaans, offer insight into the extreme highs and lows of modern love. On Vuurvas, the young South African singer/songwriter's crystalline vocals convey a rare majesty—he heightens the drama with spare and commanding melodies, driven by either delicate piano lines or gentle acoustic fingerpicking. The result, which is tonally reminiscent of Irish folk rocker Damien Rice, showcases a vibrant new talent.
