Album Review
Zoe Cure - Wave
What an incredible debut album from Zoe so chilled with her gorgeous soft vocals and delightful instrumentation with subtle acoustic/electric guitar, exquisite atmospheric cello work and wonderful percussion.
In fact this is now the chill-out album that matches my other favourite “Come Away With Me” by Norah Jones although different voices the two have the same calming effect on the listener and leave you in a state of bliss (well me for sure)
As sole songwriter on this debut she is such a clever writer and the poetic lyrics (Neil Young like at times) really flow along wonderfully and this is such a well balanced album and so well produced.
Hard to pick favourites as all bangers and while she is billed as indie-folk there is so more to her music with nods to singers like Eva Cassidy, Joni Mitchell, Katie Melua and the afore-mentioned Norah Jones.
Opening short but sweet track ‘Homesick For Stars’ sets the scene, a bubbling brook of a tune where acoustic guitar and her beautiful vocals blending in perfect harmony followed by the lovely ‘Autumn Waltz’ which adds haunting backing vocals to the mix.
I could pick any track to talk about they are all stunning pieces and title track ‘Wave’ with its wonderful use of percussion and subtle cello, and ’Even In/My Body and Soul’ with its slightly faster tempo trickles along wonderfully like the river in the lyrics are both stunning.
As I said could have picked any song on this most beautiful, magical collection by someone who could be a real star in the music world.
