Lisa Richards – A Light From The Other Side

Lisa Richards’ bright, sweet voice floats in like a spring breeze. A breeze that carries flowers, spice and promise. Following the words out in the direction of the breeze deepens its flavour, flirting with the listener’s ears and tickling the skin.

Words mix with the rhythms in pleasant momentary twirls, catching up leaves and ever so slight variations, dancing with petals and dust. Hints of perfume pass the listeners nose and play in their hair. Listeners will feel that familiarity, enjoying the possibilities of the season and the music.

Light, too light to let it sit in the background, A Light From The Other Side taps on the listener’s shoulder with quiet but determined fingers. A bit of jazz plays itself in with strengthening beats.

Drink in the breeze, it’s slight but intriguing and wistfully coaxing in another direction. (SP)
