Provogue レコード& CD

Review: Beth Hart's You Still Got Me is a powerful statement with her dynamic vocal range and emotional depth spread across 11 tracks. The album opens with the edgy rock-blues of 'Savior With A Razor', featuring Slash's gnawing guitar, before diving into a collection of confessional and observational pieces. The title track is a poignant ballad, reflecting a heartfelt moment with her husband, while songs like 'Drunk on Valentine' offer a jazzy, Tom Waits-inspired vibe. Hart explores resilience in tracks like 'Little Heartbreak Girl' and captures raw emotion in 'Don't Call the Police', a poignant response to social issues. The album's eclectic sound is enriched by contributions from Eric Gales, whose guitar elevates 'Suga N My Bowl'. With a blend of rock, blues and jazz, You Still Got Me is an emotional journey that highlights Hart's artistry and authenticity. Her ability to weave personal narratives with broader themes results in a cohesive and impactful listening experience.

Review: Just as some of her older albums are being reissued, American singer-songwriter Beth Hart returns with a fascinating new album that has long been rumoured: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin is a profound work by the Grammy-nominated powerhouse vocalist that channels fellow legendary singer Robert Plant. It comes on two translucent orange vinyl and across the nine tracks the artist really manages to capture the wide spectrum of sounds the Zep were known for. Super-producer Rob Cavallo and engineer Doug McKean work don the record and helped bring everything from rock to psychedelia, folk to prog to jazz to the fore.
