This review refers to
The Hollow of Morning (CD version).
three albums into her career, and there is little deviation from the template of her previous albums. however while any other artist would languish down a creative cul-de-sac from 'singing the same songs', Gemma Hayes manages just fine.
her strength is her ability to sing simple lyrics such as 'im beginning to forget you/i hope that it's alright' ('At Constant Speed') and 'you never fully leave me but you, you never fully stay' (This Is What You Do') and convey her emotions exactly to her audience.
she may be singing the 'same old songs', but she does it really well!
