Lizzy Spit – Trouble Lies Deep EP (Rifton Records)
CD/DL
1 April 2014
Guitarist and
singer songwriter, Lizzy Spit releases her new EP.
Anyone who
goes by the name of Lizzy Spit is going to attract attention before she’s even
sung a note. Fortunately, the sound that comes from her mouth is pure beauty. A
singer with a quite incredible voice that you are almost sure to hear again and
again quite soon.
Already
championed by much mainstream radio and a huge success on the internet, her
digital following is creating a stir and making everyone sit up and see what
all the fuss is about.
She’s clearly
loved and lost in her life as her lyrics are heart-breaking, either that or she
is an amazing songwriter. Her words tear
at your soul, unless you don’t have one.
The four tracks included here are of superb quality and if they are a
true representation of what she can do then there are good times ahead.
Her style is
like a classic sound of Joni Mitchell or the writing skills of Carol King,
there is very little like her at the moment.
Opener, Once Upon A Time is catchy from the off with a wistful guitar,
light percussion and Lizzy’s voice which is simply sublime. There are parts that sound familiar which
helps to engage on first listening.
Intriguing
echoes mark the start of All Dressed Up Nowhere To Go. A slightly fuller affair with louder
percussion this time, and Lizzy’s enunciation being perfect. Another tale of lost love and woe is wonderfully
expressed.
The
brilliantly titled Goodbye (To The Ones Who Screwed You Over) is haunting with
a string backing and enthralling rolling drums, and Gone, Gone, Gone is Lizzy
alone with her guitar. Immersing
yourself in the music of Lizzy Spit it is difficult not to at least feel a tear
well in your eye. A remarkable and quite
brilliant talent.
