At times jazzy, delving into the singer\/songwriter area, this is a strong debut.<\/p>\n<p>This short eight song album keeps a moderate to slow pace throughout, but does not fail in emotive delivery. I feel that Lizzie believes what she&#8217;s singing and writing in each song. There&#8217;s a strong classic Christian undertone and theme that runs through each song, beginning with &#8216;The Singer&#8217;s Refrain,&#8217; moving through to &#8216;Everything Has to Change.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>You should definitely download &#8220;<em>The Singer&#8217;s Refrain<\/em>&#8221; and include this in your library, it&#8217;s luscious in delivery, and well thought out, plus Lizzie&#8217;s lilting vocals are a soothing addition to the ears. If you are a fan of Brooke Fraser, Laura Marling, or Joni Mitchell, you will find this brilliant!<\/p>\n<p>Lizzie Stanley is based in Croydon, London, UK.<\/p>\n<p>Track highlights: &#8216;Blanket Jazz,&#8217; &#8216;Prince Charming,&#8217;Everything Has to Change&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/noisetrade.com\/lizziestanley\/the-singers-refrain\">Noisetrade Link: http:\/\/noisetrade.com\/lizziestanley\/the-singers-refrain<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rarely does a debut sound rich, full, and full of introspection in a relatable package.
