With a voice that carries far more depth and emotion than should be allowed in one do young, the nineteen year ‘old’ Siobhan Parr has created an album of songs that evoke a sound normally associated with American alt-country blues. Her career was launched on the back of her work with Alabama 3 (for ‘Bulletproof’), and she still makes live guest appearances with them on a regular basis. Siobhan also appears with fellow Londoners Grand Drive, members of whom appear on this album. A regular of the London acoustic scene, between support slots with people as diverse as Jimmy Cliff and Evan Dando, Siobhan’s persistent gigging has paid off.
Buy Repeat to Fade from Amazon
As I mentioned above, that Siobhan has a gorgeously powerful voice is undeniable; as is the strength of the songwriting on ‘Repeat To Fade’. The soulfulness oozes fourth in every vibrant song to such an extent that they seem instantly familiar. This is a fabulous debut by a clearly talented woman.
