Oh My Life - Beth Rowley Single Review
Beth Rowley
Single Review
Mingling heart-warming vocal clarity with soulful backing cooing and brassy instrumental cushioning, will help Beth Rowley wet appetites for her forthcoming album, Little Dreamer(out 21/04/08 on Blue Thumb Records) . This single, Oh My Life is a good advertisement for Beth's crispness and worldly projection that gives her the air of a calmer and more focused Amy Winehouse (imagine that!).
Building upon her well received EP Little Dreamer, Beth uses B-side How Could You Ever Leave to instil a slower pace. Displaying her loved up side, as the romantic simplicity of the lyrics draw out;
I waited right here for you to appear; so I could be by your side.I wore my red dress and shoes that you bought hoping that you might say.That you're looking lovely today.
A blues lag then instils a sorrowful mood when the simple tale takes a twist towards rejection and unrequited love. Rowley has a powerful voice that she uses to good effect, but is careful not to labour it. This is a good start.
