Solas - The Turning Tide
Review by Matt Black
The Turning Tide by Solas is a captivating album that showcases the band's musical prowess and ability to tell stories through their music. The album features a mix of traditional Irish tunes and original compositions that have been arranged with a modern twist.
The band's signature sound is evident throughout the album, with intricate melodies and harmonies that are beautifully executed. The arrangements are complex and layered, creating a rich and dynamic listening experience.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Ballerina Jig," a lively tune that showcases the band's ability to blend traditional Irish music with contemporary influences. Another highlight is "White Birds," an original composition that features haunting vocals and a haunting melody.
