DIANE, ALELA
to be still

Release Date: 16/02/2009

alela's 'pirates gospel' was our album of the year for 2007, and it seems that she has surpassed even that with this amazing album. where 'pirate's gospel' benefited from a bare bones production that emphasized her powerful voice, the fuller and more varied sounds here help bring the strength of her songwriting to the fore.alela's remarkable voice remains a joy; she can let loose with gale force when she wants to and can reign it in with a ghostly, mournful style at other times. those little songbird curlicues she adds in the midst of a melody are heart-aching and beautiful.
