Album Review: The Head & The Heart - Let's Be Still

Sadly, the record plateaus, but where else could they go?



Let's Be Still is as bold as it is versatile, The Head & The Heart sampling styles and beautifully utilising the three voices on offer. From melancholic to spritely, the record's subtle genre shifts are exciting – Charity Rose Thielin's Summertime is a surprise burst of energy following some poignant storytelling and the appropriately-named Shake, climactic in turn. Josiah Johnson's inherently sad Josh McBride explodes into a magical, unexpected three-part harmony, contributing to the extraordinary collection of the album's first – and better – half. Sadly, the record plateaus, but where else could they go?
