Editorial Reviews

2009 release, the third album from the British singer/songwriter (not to be confused with the Grey's Anatomy star or the popular Apprentice UK contestant). Light & Dark is the follow up to her 2007 breakthrough album, Tim's House, and was produced once more by Tim Bidwell, but with a budget surpassing the œ500 spent last time out. Kate has been able to expand her sound whilst still keeping her trademark vocal style and introspective view of modern love and loss intact. Light & Dark has a distinctly more up-beat feel to it. First single 'June Last Year' and the follow-up track '1000 Bees' should see her hit many a playlist around the country as we head towards the close of 2009 and into 2010. Kate has been joined on the record by Turin Brakes who guest on two songs, and also long time idol Crispin Hunt (formerly of the Longpigs) who sings backing vocals on 'On The Stage'. Blueberry Pie.

Another brilliant album from Kate Walsh. My personal favorites are As He Pleases, Old Man, Be Mine and Greatest Love. Once I start listening to the record, it is hard to stop. It doesn't have an upbeat hit like Your Song, but the music is simply mesmerizing.

Since purchasing this about a week ago I think I have listened to it about 10x. She is an amazing songwriter and her voice is equally wonderful. I also like that the instrumentation on this album seems to be a bit more involved and rich than on previous efforts (strings backing vocals, etc...). She is definitely one of my favorite singer songwriters, I just hope she makes it to the states for some shows!
