CD Reviews

Gentle waves indeed

Robert LeClair | Gresham, OR USA | 04/29/2002

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I checked this CD out from my local library. I had never heard of Gentle Waves or Belle & Sebastion. Since I am 45, I'm not following any musical trends, but I hope this direction away from violent offensive and crudeness continues. When I first heard the singer, I thought of Astrid Gilberto from the Bossa Nova era. But since Antonio Carlos Jobim isn't writing the songs, they are a little less sophisticated. Nevertheless, Gentle Waves is a nice breeze that has come my way. Ironically, my father just died from old age and cancer. I brought "Swan Song for You" and played it for him while he drifted in and out of consciousness."

Beautiful and sparse...

Caitlin Reich | NJ | 03/07/2003

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Though many people tend to compare Bel's work on this album to her work with Belle & Sebastian, it's entirely different. She has made this album her own! Her airy voice and string arangements are soothing, and entirely different than the songs penned by Stuart Murdoch. I wouldn't recommend "Swansong For You" to every B&S fan, but if you enjoy soothing and light 60s style ballads, you might be pleasantly surprised."

Magical, Sweet, Tender

"One of the most beautiful voices i've ever heard, so calm like a soothing whisper to your ear, or a tickelish wind running through your hair. Swansong For You is an absolute must have, this album should not be overlooked."
