Release Notes:
Siobhan Donaghy is almost unrecognisable from the
16yr old songbird whose laconic gaze first swept
across Sugababes' 'Overload' video in the summer of
2000. She's unrecognisable visually, musically and
emotionally, as her second solo album 'Ghosts'
demonstrates. A stunning sonic progression from her
debut in 2003, 'Revolution In Me', 'Ghosts' is the
startling result of a collaborative "vision" from
the enigmatic mind of producer/programmer James
Sanger (Keane, U2, Brian Eno). Coolly dramatic as
vintage Kate Bush, as vocally ephemeral as the
Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser and as
electro-dazzling as 'Ray Of Light'-era Madonna, the
album is pop sophistication at its classiest;
dazzling, planet-sized pulsing with loss, pain,
fear, forgiveness, running and hope.
From the orchestral swell of 'So You Say', to the
soaring dramatics of 'Coming Up For Air', to the
booming bass of the epic 'Medivac', to the
eastern-tinged disco-pop of 'Sometimes', to the
guitar-fried '12 Bar Acid Blues' to the
head-spinning sorcery of colossal first single
'Don't Give It Up' (a masterclass in mesmerizing,
psychedelic longing), 'Ghosts' is an extraordinary
album unlike anything around right now. Other
highlights include the magical, lush-stringed beauty
of 'There Is A Place', which sounds as if a young
Olivia Newton John suddenly turned up on one of Noel
GallagherÆs greatest ballads, and the phenomenal
title-track, 'Ghosts', full of random words and
backwards production trickery, no less than a sonic
monastery.
