Bow And Arrow opens the EP with a bang. A catchy chorus and wonderful vocals along with an intoxicating mix of folk and pop give this song tremendous energy. Demons is a sophisticated folk song with a strong blues feel. Tamsin’s vocals are powerful, charming and full of character. There could easily be comparisons between Tamsin and the hugely successful folk singer Kate Rusby. Their vocals belay some similarities but Tamsin’s bluesy overtones give her songs a new depth. Tamsin effortlessly tells a story through her changes of tempo and obvious enthusiasm for the songs that she sings. Work Is Not Life is a slow raw song; with hardly any instrumentation allowing Tamsin’s naturally gifted vocals to shine. The pace of the song picks up slightly towards the end then sinks back to its original slow pace. A lovely transition! Backwards is a wonderful acoustic folk song with heavy emphasis on vocals. Stripped right back Tamsin’s vocals show confidence and passion. Filled with emotion this song is of the highest quality throughout. Homelands is a wonderful folk song with a strong acoustic sound. A slow song full of angst and filled with poetic lyrics that are so succinct. Been So Long ends the EP on a wonderfully bluesy note. Tamsin’s vocals are so intense on this rather soulful final song. Once again this song is lyrically strong. This is a charming collection of songs all of a very high standard and brought to life by Tamsin’s effortless and genuinely amazing vocals.
