Emiliana Torrini - 'Sunny Road' (Rough Trade)
3/5
By: Tim Dellow
The road that leads to summer starts here. Naturalistic folk-pop, devoid of contrivance, from a beautiful Icelandic/Italian voice which veers into Joni Mitchell cutsiness, before pulling you back with a glinting tooth, spittle-linked smile:
'I never married, never had those kids, I loved too many, so heaven's closed its gates.'
Hints of Norah Jones' jazz interpretation, swirled like jam through the fulfilling porridge-warmth of a genuinely competent pop songwriter.
