Album Review: Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop - Love Letter For Fire

They've never worked together before, but Sam Beam and Jesca Hoop have sparked up a believable chemistry in double-fast time.

At its most endearing (see Every Songbird Says and One Way To Pray) Love Letter For Fire is a masterclass in how two points of view, together with a few subtle touches, can cut to the heart of a song's narrative as only a duet can. At other times it's solid enough, propped up with plush arrangements and Beam's ever-enchanting voice.
