LIZZY PARKS - This And That (2009)

A beautiful change in pace for vocalist Lizzy Parks, an album that's much mellower than her funky debut for the Tru Thoughts label, but in ways that are still plenty darn soulful!! The vibe here is very acoustic, and very laidback, a spare space that has Parks' amazing vocals sliding out wonderfully in really warm territory, a bit of acoustic guitar, percussion, strings, and not much else to back her up, although the album's not without its clever production twists, too, after all, this is the Tru Thoughts label!! Production is by Benedic Lamdin and Riaan Vosloo, the latter of whom also handled the spare strings, and there's a definite dose of Nostalgia 77 sophistication to the session, which both links it to other material on the label, but also sets it apart, given the unique acoustic approach!!
