Carrie Mac // Everywhere EP

Everywhere - EP
Download @ Amazon.co.uk | Download @ iTunes

This latest offering from the Edinburgh singer comes in the form of this 4 track EP titled Everywhere.

The tracks here are very much stripped back acoustic numbers. Opening with the title of the EP, Everywhere is a cover of the well known Fleetwood Mac number although performed at a slower tempo. Next up is a favourite amongst fans in the form of Like A Star, a song which for those who managed to get their hands on the original download of this track, will hear a difference between the two and how Carrie has grown into her voice.

Stay is the second original track on this EP and you can feel the emotion in Carrie’s voice. River is a cover of the Joni Mitchell track and is again delivered beautifully staying true to the original but at the same time, manages to make it her own.

Given that it was released just at the start of December and as such, the Christmas period, the fact that the EP is one of ballads is what probably works in this EP favour. The covers are delivered with a recognition to the originals but with her placing her own take on the tracks whilst her own tracks are full of emotion conveyed in her vocals.

A lovely little collection of tracks which fans will be enjoy and would be suggested for anyone who was just being introduced to the Edinburgh singer/songwriter.

Rating: 5/5
