Sandi Thom // Earthquake

Sandi Thom // Earthquake
Download @ Amazon.co.uk | Download @ iTunes

It’s been 2 years since we’ve had anything from singer songwriter Sandi Thom (in the form of The Covers Collection, it’s 3 years since an album of own material, Flesh & Blood) but now she’s revealed the first track from the forthcoming album, Weapons of Past Destruction (set for release in 2016) and it comes in the form of Earthquake.

The song sees a return to a pop sound, rather than the blues sound that we’ve heard in recent years from her. Although a song of personal experience, it is also one that will probably resonate with listeners with the theme of having your world shattered and you’re left to pick up the pieces.

Is this return to her pop roots a good thing? Time will only tell but giving but given the recent trend for a sound of yesteryear, it will be interesting to see what the rest of the album sounds like.

Rating: 4/5
