Casee Wilson - 'Tales From The Undertow' EP
Casee Wilson is a York based singer songwriter who has released two albums to date - 'Beggars And Blues' (2010) and 'Riptides' (2013).
Her third and latest studio release, 'Tales From The Undertow' EP, was issued as a digital download only on 25th July 2014.
Track listing for the new EP is:
In a recent interview Casee revealed that 5 of the 6 tracks on her new EP were written for February Album Writing Month, a yearly songwriting challenge to write 14 songs in 28 days. Reflecting on this prolific period of songwriting activity earlier in 2014, Casee said:
"I was having a very inspired time, I think my muse was back from holidaying in Tenerife or whatever she does when I have writer's block! Anyway, I was really knocking out tracks, and obviously when you do that, some of the tracks speak to you more than others. The ones that spoke to me made it onto the EP."
'Tales From The Undertow' is a compelling and cohesive collection of songs exploring the complexities of relationships, about taking chances in life and the inspiring forces of nature. Building on themes from the earlier studio releases it is very evident that these songs are of a much more personal nature, showing a vulnerability and baring of the soul through the heart on sleeve lyrics.
Musically, the skilled integration and combination of vocals and keyboards is particularly impressive throughout all of the songs on the EP with each element beautifully complimenting the other rather than competing for space. The now trademark exquisite vocals, harmonies and melodies are used to stunning effect throughout the EP. In addition to songwriting, vocal and keyboard duties on the EP, Casee also took on the role of producer to make this the ultimate in DIY projects.
Every song demands repeat listens to discover the musical and lyrical intricacies and nuances of each one. My favourite tracks at the moment are 'Wait For You' and 'Eyes Like Summer' but this keeps changing on repeated playback of the EP.
All in all this is another extremely impressive collection of songs building on the strong foundations of earlier studio releases and further evidence of a highly talented artist still developing their craft.
