Product Description

Review
Nixey exploits her freedom to showcase a Euro-electro charisma on the enervated disco of Beautiful Oblivion and the surprising and surprisingly good cover of The Human League s The Black Hit of Space. --Q Magazine, February 2007

Review
The songs are electro, or pop, or electropop. Some of them reminiscent of Kylie's I Believe In You'. The impression you're left with is of something subtly hallucinatory, swimmy and strange, late nights and beautiful people, taste, decadence, discretion, perfect smiles, expensive cars, and something aching, wordless, behind it all. --Plan B magazine, February 2007

4.0 out of 5 stars This is IWFIcon, reviewing...., 9 Jul 2007
By IWFIcon - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
"This is Sarah Nixey talking" is hardly the most exciting of opening gambits to an album on paper, but within ten seconds of putting the CD into your player it immediately draws you in her crisp, English diction proving to be a strength, not a novelty gimmick. (Incidentally the vocals remind me a lot of Natasha "Bat For Lashes" Khan).

What is clear is that for all the "art" that Nixey brings to any project (erstwhile of Black Box Recorder) she's acutely aware that in pop music its the tunes that matter.

Strangelove and The Collector are two great singles but are only the tip of the iceberg. The likes of Nothing On Earth, Hotel Room and Masquerade (the latter of which may be the standout track) are also sublime and leave a lasting impression. Nixey even manages a winner with her cover of the Human League's The Black Hit Of Space.

If I'm being critical, at 15 tracks (albeit with two spoken interludes) it is perhaps a tad too long and could well have benefited from a couple of omissions. Having said that, that is a minor criticism at worst.

Those of you who canonise Sophie Ellis Bextor as the arch queen of detached disco pop should listen to this to find out just how wrong you really are. Those who see Siobhan Donaghy as the shining light of proper pop music should listen to this and see how "commercial" concerns can be married successfully with catchy tunes. Quite simply, this is sublime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Aural Nectar, 18 Feb 2007
By A. Fouracre (Quorn, Leicestershire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
To diehard fans, there is no introduction required for Sarah Nixey. One third of 'currently comatose' trio Black Box Recorder, Sarah has been blessed with a quintessentially English voice and could possibly claim to have the best diction within the genre of pop music.

Sing, Memory is an album divided into two halves, just like albums used to be before the age of the compact disc or digital downloads. Sarah's introduction to the first half of the album lets you know what you're in for.

"There are at least two sides to every story. There are songs that tell of the beginning and some that come towards the end. Some of these songs are true and some tell lies. One or two are eager for impossible romance."

A truly great pop album that does not disappoint.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous voice!, 8 Jun 2007
I've really enjoyed this album. There's some nice tunes on it telling stories of love and (possibly?) betrayal. But to be honest, Ms Nixey could be singing the menu from the local chinese and I'd still be enraptured. Her voice is wonderful, with the most perfect diction in pop! A worthy successor to her work in Black Box Recorder.
