Natalie Gardiner

Ramjac

This superbly accomplished second album from Natalie Gardiner projects her vocals as smooth as silk. The soulful intimacy of this record is completely involving, the production beautifully judged, so that moments like the softly brushed percussion and vocal harmonies of ‘Come And Find Me Again’ can be fully enjoyed. On ‘Lonely Coming Home’ a multi-tracked acapella stands alone, showing just how much expression Gardiner can get with no trappings to distract the ear. A special record, this, and a soulful talent that should be immediately investigated if you haven’t already done so.
