JO HARROP: THE HEART WANTS
Rating: ★★★★
Author: Peter Quinn
Expertly produced by Hannah Vasanth and Jamie McCredie, the album presents 13 seductive explorations of love, pain, desire and longing. Co-written with pianist and composer Paul Edis, Harrop has described ‘If I Knew’ as being 'the key that unlocked the door' in terms of the album’s genesis. In its beauty of construction and ear-catching arrangement, it achieves a Bacharach-like poignancy.
