a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Lou Rhodes is the singer of trip-hop band Lamb and this is her first solo record.
She has left the beats behind for a more stripped-down approach.
She’s in fine voice as ever and her songs are striking.
“Each Moment New” inspires hope and has a lovely melody.
“Treat Her Gently” sees her singing “Could it be the one I love hates me so” to a soft backing.
Her trembling voice and the use of strings ensures that it’s moving.
“No Re-run” is equally gorgeous and sees Rhodes in affecting mode.
The minimalistic approach was never put to better use than here.
The title track is a sweet declaration of love delivered in the best way.
Rhodes has made a credible solo debut and more is surely to come.
