Album Review: Vera Blue - Fingertips

StarStarStarStar

"The youngster explores the inherent folk lilt in her voice in singles 'Hold' and 'Settle', then dips it in thick electro sounds in 'Fingertips'."

More Vera Blue Vera Blue Profile

Celia Pavey aka Vera Blue has come a long way since only recently appearing as a hopeful on The Voice.

Thank goodness the Sydney alternative folkster didn't stray down that more commercial path because her sultry, haunting EP would never have sounded as good or as interesting. Reining in Gossling, and Thom and Andy Mak (Boy & Bear, Bertie Blackman, Silverchair), the youngster explores the inherent folk lilt in her voice in singles Hold and Settle, then dips it in thick electro sounds in Fingertips and Turn before the more simple Patterns, without compromising the fragility of her unique sound.
