Album Notes

Bev Lee Harling is definitely the sum of her many lovely parts. She has been described by her seaside loving family as a rudderless boat, and for good reason. Having first tried her hand at studying classical violin, she then switched to studying Jazz voice. Since leaving her studies Bev has toured with a jazz septet on viola and voice, played violin for an Argentinian Tango group, fiddled for a sweaty, fast playing Celtic band, led a roots band with a borrowed electric six string and a dodgy microphone, joined forces with Jools Hinton (her favourite composer/piano player/lover) for a show of original compositions at the Edinburgh Festival, learnt the guitar, become vegan, been double booked with a kids party by a disorganised venue and found a roof terrace overlooking Alexander Palace at dusk to play at instead, conducts a string orchestra, busked to earn money on the cobbled streets of George Street in her home town of Hastings with fellow Hastonian Emily Booth A.K.A Bouff - cult horror film goddess, and most importantly since moving to London, writes her own songs, influenced by all of the things above. Bev released her four track E.P Impossible Human in May 2006. She performs regularly in and around London, at Jazz Cafe, Cargo and Cobden Club.

I could spend the whole day just falling into this music. It's beautiful and lyrical and just gorgeously layered. Her voice is captivating and her words are lovely. More please!

One of life's delightful corners.

With a name as majestic and seductive as Bev Lee Harling it is no surprise to find that her work bears those very qualities. Opening the CD is Loneliness Café, a desirably sultry number that bounces slowly along evoking melancholy daydreams in a magnolia room. Life won’t wait enlivens proceedings with cheery optimism, filled with an experimental grandeur that makes you want to spray the magnolia with rainbows, cover it with flowers and blow all your fairy dust in one glorious bonanza. Carvajal would more than hold it’s own on any Rickie Lee Jones album, why Bev is not the English rose equivalent to Rickie with status to match is an indigestible mystery. Impossible human takes you back to the magnolia room, now decorated beyond boundaries it has become a wondrous safe haven for love, play and inner contentment. I’m for you closes the glory but opens the mind to a new creative light, the room fresh with shimmering splendour, filled with beautiful lyrics that have poured upon us; even the small undecorated corner where the brown stain of a squashed mosquito provokes has become an artistic statement upon life’s ironies.

Rebecca, I must agree with your review, although I don't "boogie". It's become a must play for me.
