Liane Carroll: Ballads – review

Liane Carroll's glowing remakes of classic ballads present her in a new light, writes Dave Gelly
  
  


Whether singing, playing the piano or doing both at once, Liane Carroll is famous for coming up with spontaneous perfection. Maybe that's why most of her previous albums have been simple, straightforward affairs, often recorded live. But with 2011's gorgeous Up and Down and now this, a whole new dimension of her talent stands revealed. Surrounded by a changing cast of the best musicians around, illuminated by piquant arrangements, her singing takes on a new, glowing depth. She chooses a set of the finest popular ballads ever written and makes them new again.
