Holly Kirby CD Review

Holly Kirby, the talented young singer/songwriter from the U.K. has released her long awaited first album on CD. Titled "A Woman You Don't Know", the CD is packed with 11 Holly Kirby original songs.

She wastes no time grabbing your attention on the opening track, a rousing rendition of "Tea Leaves and Old Magazines" that features passionate vocals backed by a stirring mix of guitar, drums, piano and strings. The eponymous 2nd track "A Woman You Don't Know", is a haunting melody with rich close harmony. Overall the CD contains a nice mixture of both lively and contemplative tunes. "Topsy Turvy World" is a toe tapper, while "Gold and Blue" demonstrates her Celtic influences with a lilting melody and piano accompaniment reminiscent of Phil Coulter.

A hidden gem resides at track 9. The enigmatically named "Impossible" is a tune that has real potential to be a pop hit for her someday.

You can buy Holly's CD at her website http://www.hollykirbymusic.com/. The supply is limited, and her nearly 7000 YouTube subscribers have been clamoring for her to release a CD for ages, so don't wait too long to order one.
