Laura Mvula's orchestral release of Sing To The Moon does not come out until August 11, but she has provided a 6-track sample starting with "Make Me Lovely," a track about not being able to force love, accompanied by a slew of horns and strings. Instruments bombard each and every track in equal power of Laura Mvula's heavy-laden soulful voice. This album is very different from the original album, leaving more time for the ensemble to do their thing; they support her voice well.
This album was conducted by Jules Buckley at Abbey Road Studios and recorded with the Metropole Orkest. --GB
