Cariad Harmon - Four Letters (2009)

A classically pretty singer-songwriter from across the pond, with a disarming smile and contagious laugh, Cariad Harmon has been building momentum in her adopted hometown of New York City since she moved there in 2004. There is no grandious plan here, no pretension in her approach. She is simply a girl from London who has come a long way and made a beautiful record. Four Letters, Cariad's debut album on Mowo!, Inc. is an effortlessly well-rounded outing full of gentle lilting-melodies, simple, relatable stories, beautifully hypnotizing string arrangements and warm airy production.
