a Review by Anna Maria Stjärnell
Jo Mango (last name assumed) surely has crafted her chilled out debut and a fine one it is.
Her soft vocals on opener "My Lung" recalls a less child-like Stina Nordenstam and the tune is lovely.
"Gamer" is a wistful song of loss , the soft backing bringing it more impact. Alan Peacock gives a great duet vocal.
"Waltz with me" is done in waltz-time and Mango's vocal is wide-eyed and full of wonder. The strings are used tastefully and not to smother the tune.
"Blue Light" is sweeping and bold, which makes a difference from the other songs on the album. The hushed atmosphere becomes Jo Mango in general, but the change is nice all the same.
This is a charming debut.
