Frances Black – Anthology – 3CD
€18,15
Description
One can only marvel at the sheer diversity of Frances Black’s career. Politician, social activist, counsellor, advocate for the most vulnerable here and around the world, and a hugely popular singer and performer, as celebrated on this rather wonderful celebration of her musical talents. The hits and fan favourites are well represented, as are some fine deeper cuts. Yet over three discs and fifty-two songs, the quality never drops.
‘Anthology’ covers the breathd of Frances’s storied career, focusing on her solo work, with some stellar collaborations thrown in for good measure. From her Folk beginnings, through her pop sensibilities, to her strident protest songs, there is an array of styles that may surprise people.
There are songs you will find yourself singing along to, perhaps a bit louder than you might think. ‘Talk to me, when I’m listening’, ‘When you say nothing at all’, ‘Fear is the enemy of love’, and ‘Love me’ all produce a mellow, musical mood that is quite intoxicating.
Go watch Black live, and you can really appreciate that warm glow that her music produces. Her choice of material has always been exemplary and the slower ballads are performed with real sensitivity and feeling. It is almost pointless attempting to feature high points, given the collection’s high calibre, and listeners will find their own gems in the cornucopia of aural goodies on offer.
