5.0 out of 5 stars Beth Arrives, October 31, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Early Days (Audio CD)

I first heard Beth Hirsch on Air's great album Moon Safari. The thought intrigued me - how would she sound on her own album? She doesn't disappoint!

Hirsch's new album "Early Days" is an acoustically romantic joyride. The singer/songwriter's vocals have just enough simpatico and vulnerability to give the impression of a happy tomorrow.

A cross between Joni Mitchell and Beth Orton - she is my generations' Tori Amos.

"Life is Mine" could easily become my new anthem. "Somebody Dandy" reminds me of the feeling of my first love. "Silent Song" gives an insight of the lonely mood of being by myself.

If you are expecting the romp of modern day music - forget it - but if you are looking for a voice and lyrics to open up your secret self - this is your musical soulmate.

This review is from: Early Days (Audio CD)

There seems to be a monopoly of electro-folk singer-songwriters named Beth, but I think Beth Hirsch and her album Early Days has the upper hand over her compatriot Beth Orton. For one, Hirsch's voice is stronger and her songs are achingly lovely. There's also a strong sense of melancholy on tracks like "Come a Day" and "Gabrielle." This album is certainly more acoustic than her work with Bang Bang or Air, but it showcases a different sensibility, one that isn't necessarily linked to electricity. Most of the tracks here speak of heartbreak, and they do so beautifully.
