Play 90 second soundbite of 'A Place In The Sun' @ 'CD quality'
I suppose a comparison would help here; think Suzanne Vega, think Kate Bush, think an amalgamation of the two, then think Paula Wolfe. 'Lemon' is right up there with the big albums of our time - a real contender, a stunner! 'Lemon' is fairly understated sounding affair and yet Wolfe gives it everything - inspirationally conceived and wonderfully written songs, stunning arrangements, superb execution - it's all here! It's fanbloodytastic!
Paula Wolfe has a seemingly natural ability to make you stop and listen to her songs - and definitely, these are songs worth getting in to! Wolfe's majestically descriptive lyrics are made even more tangible by her great use of punctuative rather than confusing instrumentation. Sure there's plenty to listen to, it's not actually stripped bare but it is wonderfully coloured by empathetic strings and things. Wolfe is a natural and 'Lemon' is simply splendid!
'Lemon' by Paula Wolfe is a mature and sensitive work that's easy to listen to and a pleasure to behold; clearly a great lyricist, obviously a gifted instrumentalist and certainly a visionary musician - Wolfe shows massive ability and creativity that cries 'potential'. 'Lemon' is massively commercial and given decent air-play and promotion I can see 'Lemon' becoming one of the 'must have' albums of the year. 'Lemon' by Paula Wolfe sits somewhere in the same mould as Damien Rice's 'O'; on the more sensitive side of the 'acoustic' arts, deep yet homely, educated craftsmanship delivered with finely honed professionalism and definitely one for the more discerning ear. 'Lemon' by Paula Wolfe is a little beaut and deserves massive success!!
