Music reviews of Light from a Distant Shore
Music Review: Beautiful voice, beautiful cd
Rating: 5 Stars
On my quest for more female singers, I stumbled upon the mp3 of "Gone" on Amazon. I thought it was good enough to at least give the CD I try, and I'm very glad I did.
Hollie Smith's has a sensual, deep smooth voice. When you pair her beautiful voice with Steven McDonald's lyrics, keyboard and percussion, this CD elevates itself above others in the genre. I actually find myself more drawn to the songs where both Hollie Smith and Steven McDonald sing ("Fields of Athenry" and "Fallen Flowers"), perhaps because of the ballad aspect of the two, but also because together, these singers make an absolutely winning combination. Regardless, if you've listened to "Gone" and still aren't sure, I suggest you buy it anyway. While "Gone" is a great song, it's not the best song on the album by far, in my opinion, and the lyrics aren't as good as others on the album. Songs like "Rowan Tree" (one about how a rowan tree reminds the narrator of her childhood), "Skye Boat Song" (a traditional ballad about Prince Charlie, smuggled out of Scotland to France), and "Amazing Grace" along with the two ballads named above stand out the most to me.
I've heard news that Hollie Smith is now in the process of making another album, and I'll be sure to snatch that one up as soon as it's available.
