Paperback Cliché

It’s been some time since Tara Blaise first came on like a potential star, fronting the EMI-signed Dublin band Kaydee. In the interim, she has worked quietly away, developing her craft as a songwriter and performer – and, last year, guesting as vocalist on John Hughes’ largely instrumental album Wild Ocean. Now, it’s her turn to grab the spotlight and she does it with impressive finesse, emerging as a vocalist to be reckoned with in the process.

It’s been some time since Tara Blaise first came on like a potential star, fronting the EMI-signed Dublin band Kaydee. In the interim, she has worked quietly away, developing her craft as a songwriter and performer – and, last year, guesting as vocalist on John Hughes’ largely instrumental album Wild Ocean. Now, it’s her turn to grab the spotlight and she does it with impressive finesse, emerging as a vocalist to be reckoned with in the process. In the delicious ‘Paperback Cliché’ , make no mistake, she has a potential hit on her hands. Yes, this is pop music, brilliantly arranged and produced to the nines, but it is gloriously warm and real, with a winningly addictive chorus that should guarantee extensive radio exposure. Seductive and charming, it’s a tantalising taster for her Dancing On Tables Barefoot album.

Fall At The Start

Corrs fans would probably appreciate Tara’s latest effort more than Andrea’s solo work: there’s a glorious folky tinge added to a charming tune, so that she and Ireland’s most famous family share more than a manager. Watch out for the start of the chorus when you think it’s going to break into ‘Road Rage’ by Catatonia before it veers well away (good plan).
