Review

Her excellent debut, 2008's Sea Sew , sees her expanding her horizons without scrimping on nuance or emotion **** --Uncut

Playful, sometimes starkly beautiful **** --Mojo

Everyone s a little bit in love with Lisa... Hannigan is on confident form **** --Daily Telegraph

36:T4a4, This is the debut solo album from talented Irish singer song-writer Lisa Hannigan. She is a huge star in her native Ireland but less well known in the UK , this wonderful album of ten tracks is breathless in its intensity and lyrical beauty. Hannigan is a old fashioned style artist who just lets the music do the talking and with a voice like hers that's quite sufficient. The tracks cover many different themes and are all harmonically entrancing and extremely enticing. They draw you in with a distinctive Celtic flair, that wants you to hear them time and time again. Lisa Hannigan is definitely an artist that the more you play her the more you fall in love with her. But by the end of this magical Sea-Sew adventure I just could not get Lisa's beautiful music out of my head, need I say more about this fabulous and very under-rated singer. Her songs just float as if on air and transport you to that timeless place of eternal beauty they are just so effortless and awe inspiring. This debut album instantly made me go and buy the another two albums Lisa has released immediately and I am sure you will fall in love with Lisa Hannigan's music j
