After hugely positive responses to 2013’s debut LP, it goes without saying Aplin’s sophomore record is well anticipated.
The acoustic folk leanings of her previous efforts are augmented with heady pop-rock, grand production and a beguiling knack for penning heartfelt yet empowered ballads.
Gabrielle has evaded the trappings of the “difficult second record” to create an LP with a depth beyond her years that’s simply irresistible.
7/10, out September 18
