I'm rather biased, I have to say here, because I've seen Ms Moule live with a jazz trio and in a duet with her hubby/producer/composer Simon Wallace on piano...in both cases, they turned out to be gigs to remember. Sarah's voice is astonishingly warm and serene, with gorgeous melodies and lyrical soulful wit and wisdom pouring out from the tracks...and on this her third album, you get all of that, plus witty soulful lyrics to boot....you'll be lost in dreamland with "I was lost", beguiled by The Flowers and The Wine, taken to jazz heartland by the opening title track (co-written by one Ms Julie Burchill!), and will adore the almost Peggy Lee meets Blossom Dearie feel of "I fall in love too easily" with airy sax augmenting the gentle lush sound of the Simon Wallace trio....my favourites of all are the tricksy uptempo The Secret of Silence, with some shakuhachi appearing courtesy of Clive Bell, and the seriously catchy Living In Overdrive...
This is an album to enjoy and smile with and to...with songs by Simon Wallace and respected lyricist Fran Landesman, plus one by Clive James/Pete Atkin amongst others, I put it on today and even the sun came out!
