This album finds the soaring voice of Suzie Daines in the company of tasteful arrangements, performed skillfully on brass, strings, piano, organ, winds and percussion.
“Lift Me Up” opens with a blend of voices, brass, and tasteful percussion that set the stage for Suzie’s entrance. The outreach in the song is palpable and the energy arc fits perfectly with the feeling of uplift. I’ll rest tomorrow.
“Love is Absolutely Free,” the title song for the album, is a wry confrontation with a troubled relationship. Set in ¾ time, it moves along with energy and determination.
“Unsinkable” revisits the Titanic story. An acoustic trio featuring a beautiful arco cello line provides the pulse, momentum and drama for this retelling through Suzie’s impassioned singing.
Throughout Love Is Absolutely Free, you hear a singer who provides just the right interpretation, pace and energy for each song and arrangement. Nothing is wasted and everything belongs together.
