Don’t just take my word for it – make sure you listen to The Bothy Sessions to fully understand the justice this album deserves. The press release details how this EP came about whilst experiencing nature and this is evident in the sound of the music and the feeling it leaves you with at the end of a song. Deep music with a relaxing and upbeat attitude, the influence of nature and the pastoral is clear.
The calm melodies which can suddenly become more striking hits when the drums clinically enter, like a thunderstorm disrupting a calm summer evening. When on your first listen to this artist you are shocked maybe as much as us Brits were when Susan Boyle belted out her opera. It touches my soul and I just could sit there listening to the beauty of the music on its own and the beautiful voice. Rachel’s voice is like a bow on a Christmas present; it just finishes off something already glorious. This is a must see and must hear artist. Close your eyes and just listen as the beauty engages your imagination, right up to the crescendo that finishes the album perfectly.
