Ghalia Volt has gone through many evolutions as an artist. After the effects of COVID, the Belgian blues one-woman band has entered a new era as a more empowered and enriched artist ready to challenge herself.

With the breakout success of 2019’s Mississippi Blend. a record that made the Top 3 in the Billboard Blues Chart on three separate occasions, it seemed the world was her oyster — her seven-year transformation from Brussels busker to the adopted daughter of the American roots scene.

“Playing live as a one-woman band is very challenging,” Volt expressed in an ABS interview discussing last year’s Ruf Records release One Woman Band. Continuing, “But I’m digging it. I’m pushing my boundaries. I don’t know if people realize the amount of information that goes through my mind while performing. I have to sing and remember the lyrics, mind my pronunciation, play slide guitar while coordinating my feet to play the snare, kick drum, and hi-hat.”

Premiering exclusively is the video for “First Time I Died” from Mississippi Blend. Volt flips the script with a smoldering blues rocker on which her vocals are at the forefront without overpowering her backing musicians. With dark lyrics and hard-driving guitar approach, the song serves as a crossover between blues and heavy rock. 

Of the video, Volt tells ABS:

The music video ‘First Time I Died’ launched to introduce the new vinyl release of the 2019 Mississippi Blend album.

The music video was originally shot in 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic.

It depicts a tortured soul stuck between four walls, as one’s mind can be the barrier to its own fulfillment.

Each of us struggle with dark thoughts, as the lyric illustrates: “Meet me in my dark side, where I felt like I died a hundred times.
