Oxfordshire born erstwhile songstress Thea Gilmore continues to grow in searching poetic nature and, having exorcised the demon of depression. Her songs now encapsulate worldly wise viewpoints, supported by winding, trotting percussion led enveloping instrumentals. ‘You’re The Radio’, is the lead single from her tenth album ‘Murphy’s Heart’. Clear and rising, yet darkly veiled vocal clarity of the Sheryl Crow ilk, grips hold of ‘You’re The Radio’, as the old “opposites attract” phenomenon is put under her  charming, life magnifying microscope.

A winding , slightly bluesy acoustic guitar nudged intro’ is given a forlorn edge, by the stirring low-key vocal touch that builds and builds, as the confidence grows. More body and a stern echo means that her points are well made. Gilmore’s reputation for merging cathartic with the upbeat, will continue to flourish and the twenty album mark could be reached sooner than you think.
