We’d be surprised if anyone hadn’t heard of Gareth Malone. He’s already had a no.1 thanks to the Military Wives, has got workplaces singing together and now he brings a new choir of young talented people together to produce Voices.
This collection of songs bring a number of modern tracks (Alicia Key’s Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart, Bon Ivor’s Calgary & Lana Del Ray’s Video Games to name a few),some older tracks (Erasure’s A Little Respect, The Moody Blue’s Night’s In White Satin & Fleetwood Mac’s Go You Own Way) and some more choral tracks (Now Sleeps The Crimson Petal on the standard with the addition of O Magnum Mysterium & Passion Chorale on the deluxe version).
Many of these tracks do work well in a choral arrangement though the version of Death Grip’s Guillotine may lead to feelings of sea sickness while Go Your Own Way shows potential but seems to get lost along the way. It’s an interesting take on the genre but at the same time, it shows not everything works. It’s a shame too, as we were really taken with the live EP from the Supperclub last year (available on Amazon) but this doesn’t seem to capture what you hear live.
If it was a school report it would probably read, shows potential but could do better
Rating: 3/5
