Album Description
Available in:
"Small World Turning" is the 17th full length studio album from English singer-songwriter Thea Gilmore, released 17th May 2019 on the Shameless Records label.
The album features contributions from Sam Lakeman Seth Lakeman and Cara Dillon
User Album Review
Thea once again proves herself the most acute observer of humanity; her commentaries-in-song being both insightful and air-punchingly right-on while couched in memorable poetry and memorable hook-laden music.
The album’s main menu is framed by two very different lullabies. The first thing we hear is the traditional children’s lullaby Mockingbird, here sung unaccompanied by mother-of-two Thea, but this is little more than a snippet of memory, childhood innocence that’s soon (and hastily) brushed aside, faded out well before its conclusion, to be supplanted by (and forced to yield to) the real world and its driven complex of barriers, restrictions, regulations and rules.
Small World Turning is another splendid collection of songs from one of the UK’s top songwriters, still very much at the top of her game and still refreshingly unafraid to tell unpalatable home truths and speak out in defence of her uncompromising take on today’s world. Only one small mystery remains – the puzzling omission of the brief composition that gives the album its title. It turns out to be a poem, one which pithily encapsulates the album’s concerns; fortunately, you can find its text, along with Thea’s own robust rendition, on her website. Completion assured, then, and mission accomplished.
