Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
The change in direction which Someday My Blue Will Cover The Earth embodies may have been a gradual one for His Name Is Alive but it may still come as a shock (although hopefully a pleasant one) for fans of the one time Cocteau Twins influenced art rockers. This beautifully crafted album is essentially a showcase for the sensuous and hypnotic vocals of gospel singer Lovetta Pippen. But equally, it is a showcase for the production work of Warn Defever, from the muted R&B backing of the "Write My Name In The Groove" to the crackling gramophone-filtered jazz of "Solitude" Defever builds on the drama and atmosphere within each heart-felt track perfectly. "One Year" with its funky bassline and infectious lyrics is a great pop track, sounding not dissimilar to the Sugababes but the lyrics ("if you had a year to live") still stick closely to the blues project which dominates the album. Someday My Blues Will Cover The Earth may have been 10 years in the making but as this breathtaking collection of blues influenced soul, jazz and modern R&B demonstrates, good things come to those who wait. --Caroline Butler

CD Description
Eighth album for cult US indie band. A series of sparse, minimal songs influenced by soul, jazz and blues, featuring the vocals of Detriot runaway Lovetta Pippen. Includes the limited edition singles 'Happy Blues/One Year' and 'Nothing Special'.

4.0 out of 5 stars Warren,The Blues and the rest of the earth, 6 Jul 2001
By B. D. Collier "BC" (london) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
yet again it amazes me how this band,and in particular the excellent Warren Defever,can go unnoticed.'Someday..' is the album that sees the band throw away the abstract,almost Cocteau Twin esq sounds of their early recordings and throw themselves longingly at the mercy of gospel,the blues and early rock n' roll,although those fx peddles still make a hell of a noise....

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, slow, sad - His Name Is Alive's finest album, 13 Dec 2004
By Martin Harley (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This one is His Name is Alive's 6th proper album, from 2001. It's one of their most consistent in terms of mood, with little genre-hopping: it's all Soul/R&B music and its stunningly beautiful, very sexy and desolately sad.

Significant changes from other albums: Longtime singer Karin Oliver has now departed, leaving just Lovetta Pippin. No Warren Defever guitar wig-outs either - just gentle strings, piano, deep processed bass and grown-up lyrics that cover suicide, love, terminal illness, obsession and leaving ("Are We Still Married" from their 2nd album "Home is in Your Head" is radically re-worked).

Lovetta's voice has none of the excessive warbling characteristic of Maria Carey & other self-styled soul 'divas'. By contrast, she's restrained and knows when to be quiet and let a tune play out. This album is everything that R&B could be. If only other more chart-friendly artists would stop trying to convince us of the depth of their emotion by moaning and bending their voices, I could like R&B more.

It's my other favourite His Name is Alive album, apart from "Mouth by Mouth" and thoroughly deserves 5 stars and should be more widely known. Pleasantly, unlike their other albums, I've not played it to anyone that didn't like it. Newcomers start here & work backwards through "Fort Lake" & stop when you've had enough. This one though, is worth a listen even for any non-R&B fan - its a 40 minute slice of heaven.

5.0 out of 5 stars Praise thy name!, 29 Jan 2002
What a gloriously sublime curveball Warren has delivered this time! As uncluttered with styles as "Fort Lake" is over-brimming with, utilizing this time a fabulously bluesy/noir pallette. It has a late night cozy feel mostly, but is just as warm blasting out of yer hi-fi. Lovetta is once again in fine voice and she excels with regret in "Our Last Affair"; with soul in "Solitude"; with uncertainty in "Are We Still Married?". All tracks are equally lovely. Buy it now.
