La Grande

Everyone that listens to La Grande should feel some sort of connection to the lyrics or the sound of the piano and guitar and drums but they’ll never quite know why.

It’s a wholesome and welcome addition to a back-catalogue which has very few flaws, even if the moments which stand up and make you take notice are not numerous.

The sheer craft she brings to blending the old with the new makes listening an altogether rewarding experience.

It’s a voice both genuine and pure, and when she keeps the stylized pitter-patter to a minimum, the effect is downright touching

Rather than another exercise in genre-dabbling and dilettantism, La Grande succeeds as a cohesive work thanks to the persistence of Gibson's vision.
