Description
Produced by Jim Bryson at his Stittsvile studio Fixed Hinge, Evangeline Gentles debut album makes for a powerful introduction to this Peterborough-based singer/songwriter. Ordinary People and The Strongest People Have Tender Hearts celebrate the strength it takes to stay soft in a world that can harden you with a single headline. Drop My Name champions the voice of someone no longer willing to be taken advantage of. Sundays is a sweet and honest exploration of insecurity in our romantic relationships. Neither of Us and Long Time Love are love songs for the modern world while So It Goes is a nostalgic retelling of teen summer love. Even If and Digging My Grave are less lighthearted tracks that share vulnerable truths about depression, drinking and recovering from self-sabotaging and Guided is a hopeful closing song to this LP uniting listeners with the question How do we become good and guided by the heart?.
At only 23 years of age, Evangelines accolades are already accumulating at an impressive rate. Awarded Emerging Artist at the 2015 Peterborough Folk Fest, and Best Female Vocalist of the year at the 2015 Wire Awards, they have shared stages with artists such as Basia Bulat, Craig Cardiff, Matt Andersen, Terra Lightfoot, and Sam Weber.
Evangeline Gentles self-titled album is a triumph Exclaim!
The soft beginning of lead single Sundays leaves ample space for Gentles powerhouse voice but whatever the space they create for themselves, Gentles debut album is evidently just the beginning CBC Music
