Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… kicking off this morning with Chris and his talented band with their fantastic ‘Traveller’ album are they sounding sublime this morning! This is one sweet album…
Over lockdown and occasionally recently ( mainly ‘cos I got bored of reaction videos) I followed / watched the YouTube vocal coach Beth Roars and liked her insights into music.
Recently she released an album of her own songs - which she describes as
“A musical journey of self discovery from darkness to light. Fable (the album name) blends dark pop, spoken word, and cinematic Celtic ( well she is Scottish) sounds to create a story…”
Basically a concept album.
