Beebe, Beebe - Beebe (Album), music, Musica

Liz Beebe, co-lead singer of the popular American Roots band Dustbowl Revival, is set to release her debut solo album after many years on the road with her aforementioned band. Beebe describes the album as having a “childlike wonder with a grounded sense of adult responsibility” as it covers the excitement and joviality of what it feels like to explore life in all its wonders and the excess with which it offers said wonders for those courageous enough to find out.

Given a solid 9.1 from Soundly Music, here’s hoping the ethereal ‘I Got You On My Mind’, which blends the sexiness of Etta James with the spacey keyboard harmonies of a Psychedelia revival, makes the cut. Hopefully, as well, does her latest single ‘Paper Cuts’ which has a childlike innocence and wonderful piano/organ chordal arrangements that give the song a soulful, congregational reverence and strength that is truly a rejuvenation for the ears, soul and mind. Truly beautiful.

There is truly a universality in her tone. A remedy for any sickness or a friend to share on any occasion, Beebe is here to offer an empathic, riveting, encouraging and equally soothing hand.

The album was released on Quiet Fire Records come 17th September 2021.

Tracklist:

01.Paper Cuts
02.I Got You on My Mind
03.Vacation
04.Try It Out
05.Circle Games
06.Storage
07.Letting Go
08.Home
09.Letting Go (Extended Bonus Track)

Ocean to Ocean is the sixteenth studio album by American singer-songwriter Tori Amos, released on October 29, 2021. A vinyl release will follow on January 28, 2022. Amos will support the album with a UK and Europe tour in February and March 2022.

Amos wrote and recorded album while in lockdown in Cornwall, where she lives, with her writing inspired by her fascination with “the county’s landscapes and ancient myths”. Part of her writing was also explained to be in reaction to the US Capitol riots in January 2021.

In a press release, Amos described the album as “a record about your losses, and how you cope with them”. She elaborated that she realized she had to “write” to “shift” her perception of herself, saying: “I was in my own private hell, so I told myself, then that’s where you write from—you’ve done it before.” Amos also explained that the album is intended to “sit” with listeners, particularly if they are “in a place of loss. […] When somebody is actually at that place, thinking ‘I’m done,’ how do you reach that person? […] It’s about sitting in the muck together.”

Tracklist:

01.Addition of Light Divided
02.Speaking With Trees
03.Devil’s Bane
