Carly Sings - The Glove Thief

Carlysings Recordings

Co. Wicklow’s Carly Blackman spends her time between Ireland and France, and it shows on this winsome debut. An eclectic recipe of pop, folk, shades of jazz and hints of samba is served up alongside a voice reminiscent of an introspective Polly Harvey. The delightful ‘George Emerson’ is bathed in intrigue, while ‘I Am Right’ seethes as only a scorned lover can. While there is no denying its charm, The Glove Thief lacks a truly standout track to propel Blackman into the limelight, and in places it strays dangerously close to dinner party background music. John Freeman
