Cerys Matthews - Explorer

Returning with more of her languid vocals. My favourite of hers so far since Catatonia splitting up.
You can get signed copies over at Earthquake if that’s your thing.

Thoroughly enjoying this upbeat first full release from Marina Lambrini Diamandis.
Possibly pop, but what the heh.

Skip the first track and the rest of the CD is lovely.
Just my opinion.

Jem – Down To Earth

Jem - Down To Earth

I know now why she has not done anything since her debut release from 2004.
Which I still adore.
The lyrics and voice are Jem, no question. Emotional, descriptive, sparse and totally spot on.
But the added years and orchestration make this release something to behold.
I love it.
You need it.
God bless Wales.
