This is an album for those who love ballads, especially Irish ballads. A Celtic through and through, Brigid Mae Power enchants us with her country/folk songs and distinctive vocals. Between the voice meditation and the melancholy, this third album has a certain maturity and the vocals are accompanied by traditional Irish instruments as well as an Irish adaptation of the Greek bouzouki that dances around the melody. Like a journey through time, tracks like I Was Named After You transport us far away from these troubling times to a distant, unspecified and mysterious era. Such is the power of Brigid Mae Power that she provides us with a complete change of scenery through these ten songs, taking us someplace else that is peaceful, restful and sentimental, like an ocean escape. © Yan Ceh/Qobuz
