Folk singer/songwriter Seth Lakeman will soon be releasing the new single from his upcoming album, “Hearts and Minds” on July 12. With rhythmic fiddle hooks and the definition of an anthemic chorus, “Tiny World” is a summer hit just waiting to happen. In fact, the same could be said of the entire album. From sombre folk ballads to foot-stompin’ jigs “Hearts and Minds” is the perfect collection for those new to Seth Lakeman or even folk in general. Often credited for bringing folk to the masses Lakeman’s sound was the precursor to the recent folk revival spearheaded by groups such as Noah and the Whale, Mumford & Sons and Laura Marling. If any of these are down your street “Hearts and Minds” will be just what the doctor ordered. Described as ‘a creative breakthrough’ by Uncut Magazine and produced by Tchad Blacke (The Black Keys, Elvis Costello) “Hearts and Minds” is a must-have for this summer.
