Siobhan O’Brien
Shades of Stevie Nicks on the latest offering from this Irish songstress.
Songwriter Siobhan O’Brien’s self-titled album sees the tunesmith incorporate elements of folk, blues, country and soft rock into her own musical brew. For the most part, the genre gymnastics work really well on this charming LP. Bolstered by an impressive, quivering, Stevie Nicks-esque croon, the record is at its best when the singer really lets those melodies soar. ‘Leaving Me’ and the anthemic power-ballad ‘Guilty Of Despair’ are definite highlights. Lyrically, the likes of ‘My Man’ err on the cheesy side, but there is a real talent at work here.
