'Elevate' by Fiona Mackenzie

17 April 2008

I've been enjoying 'Elevate' - an album by Scottish folk singer Fiona Mackenzie. Apart from the three Gaelic songs this is more acoustic pop than folk. The opening track 'When The Sunny Sky Has Gone' sounds like it could be by Jack Johnson. Fiona Mackenzie's voice has some of the childlike fragility of Joanna Newsom (reviewed here in November 2006) - though without the more strident moments. 'Elevate' is a gentle, likeable collection of songs.
