Organic folk and country love songs and stories, acoustically rooted but ambiently enhanced by modern AI production tools – Jon & Emma Lloyd Palmer is a full-length album of original songs, written by Patrick Benson, across four decades of life experience.
Beginning with the rather beautiful I’m Falling In Love, the acoustic intimacy and vocal warmth meets with the longing sentiments and expression of the lyrics. The AI overtone is clear at this point, but for the purpose of helping bring a song to life in the way a writer truly envisions, the tool is invaluable.
The song’s chorus is beautiful, an uplifting and evocative crescendo, and it’s this melodic writing and lyrical journey that highlights the humanity and skill of the artist behind it.
That quality continues to ring loudly throughout these thirteen songs, with Celtic folk sounds and tunes lighting up Every Time The North Wind Blows, and upbeat country positivity shining brightly for Aftermath. Cornish Rose is a traditional highlight, and the rather anthemic choir of One Day We’ll Be Free has the potential to prove breath-taking, if a live ensemble of vocalist were to capture the same passion and wonder.
