Already the opener "Black Sheep" clear musical, in which direction the album is going: stomping rhythm, a powerful voice and a catchy melody hazardous. In addition, meaningful lyrics - "Everybody's doing it, so why the hell should I / I'm a bad woman to keep / Make me mad, I'm not here to please / Paint me in a corner but my color comes back / Once you go black, you never go back / I'm a black sheep ". With "Man Like That" it beats sipping a to the male sex and explains a friend why she does not have to be surprised if it is making fun of the guy. The dynamic, powerful music continues in the following four songs of the album. The great thing is that to listen to the songs but at no time equal to or monotonous. Gin Wigmore seems to reinvent with each new song to offer the audience something new.
The playing and singing joy you feel in each stanza. Gin Wigmore sings with her distinctive voice, the soul from the body - and the audience will enjoy it every minute. With songs like "If Only" or the outstanding "Saturday Smile" shows from New Zealand, that it is exactly as good at home in balladesque metier. The voice is literally under your skin and stimulates to dream.
A jewel for me is the delightfully sassy "Sweet Light", the one no longer wants to go out of your head after listening to / is. Needless to mention that even with the eleventh song of the album comes an ambiguous lyrics. For fans of eBay advertising is as a bonus track on the already "Holy Smoke" published "Do not Stop".
"Gravel And Wine" brought the young singer hopefully the success that she had already earned "Holy Smoke" and develops, similar to Melody Gardot, soon from a tip to a hall filled artist. At their first concert in Germany, I am in the front row, that's for sure.
