What makes this collection of songs stand out? It is her stunning vocal presence. It has a unique tone which is beautiful to listen to but also has a captivating upbeat feel to it.
Well, there are no plans to lose any momentum as she releases her new single “The Dust Will Settle”. Recorded in The Boathouse Studio in Suffolk, it features a live rhythm section.

A plea to the listener to choose to lay past demons to rest in order to make room for brighter days.”
The songs live feel is a nice touch and gives it a grounded feel. The band have more of a supporting role as Robertson’s guitar takes the centre stage. But they come together to create a warm folk sound that is so easy on the ears, and its good.
