Over the course of her eventful musical career, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Shara Nova (formerly Worden), has established herself as something of a genre chameleon, dabbling with contemporary classical, rock, electronica, folk, and a host of other styles in works released under her My Brightest Diamond moniker as well as her many guest appearances. The thread that holds these disparate influences together, though, is her inimitable classically trained mezzo-soprano. With generally light yet full-sounding lows and crystalline head-voice highs, her voice keeps a relatively constant tone and strength throughout its three-octave range. Her vibrato is a particular strong suit, and she has a penchant for twisting a high note around as she holds it, playing around with different shades of resonance. Capable of pulling off everything from the quirky to the menacing to the genuinely heartfelt, her skilled, acrobatic vocals are at the very heart of her multifaceted material.
