Miriam Lieberman‘s Just Transforming
Miriam Lieberman’s Exquisite ‘Just Transforming’
Nominee for Best Contemporary Album, Australian Folk Music Awards
By Rob Dickens
Another case of artistic persistence during the global pandemic.
Miriam Lieberman has managed to get crowdfunding, written, recorded (produced by Josh Schuberth) and released Just Transforming in the most difficult of times. In doing so, she has created a soothing mental balm for we troubled souls.
The title track inspires us to never stop growing and changing, “Little Bird” reflects on the cycle of life and “Infinite We Are” dares us to use the magic of our imagination. The themes throughout are sweeping, including her new mother status and presented through wonderful string arrangements, led by Lieberman on the kora, a twenty-one stringed African harp and backed by Lara Goodridge and Susie Bishop.
In this crazy past year of uncertainty, I’ve come back to my songwriting after a hiatus of becoming a mum. The result is an album of new songs about our incredible and fragile planet, about becoming a mum, about imagination and about our need for each other. It is my intention to empower and uplift people with this music.

And gloriously uplifting it is.
