Liane Carroll - Ballads (2013)

After the Multi-award winning success of 'Up And Down' Liane returns with stunning new album 'Ballads'. 'Ballads', reunites her with Multi-Grammy nominated producer and trumpeter James McMillan, who also produced 2011's critically acclaimed 'Up and Down'. Hailed as Carroll's first true "studio" album, "Up and Down", featured a wide range of settings for her spectacular voice, from the stripped back intimacy of piano and vocals to the rich warmth of strings and orchestral brass and it's a formula utilised to even more devastating effect on Ballads with arrangements especially written for Carroll by Los Angeles based, critically acclaimed orchestrator/arranger Chris Walden. The result album is a blue-tinged, melancholic masterpiece that transcends genre and might just be Carroll's richest artistic statement yet and one that marks her as one of the world's greatest singers.
