Our Take

MARA SIMPSON's latest offering, "285 Days Retold," is a whimsical journey through the ups and downs of love and life. With a voice as smooth as a freshly brewed cuppa and lyrics as clever as a pint at the pub, Simpson effortlessly weaves tales of heartache and hope in this 10-track masterpiece.

From the opening track "Sunshine in My Soul," Simpson captivates listeners with her dreamy melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. Each song feels like a conversation with an old friend, comforting yet refreshingly honest. The acoustic arrangements are simple yet striking, allowing Simpson's vocals to shine like the crown jewels.

Tracks like "London Rain" and "Northern Air" transport us to different corners of the world, while still maintaining that quintessentially British charm. Simpson's storytelling abilities are on full display, painting vivid pictures with her words and melodies.

But don't be fooled by the album's laid-back vibe; Simpson's wit and wisdom shine through in tracks like "Tea and Biscuits" and "Silly Love Songs." She tackles themes of heartbreak and self-discovery with a touch of humour and a healthy dose of introspection.

Overall, "285 Days Retold" is a delightful blend of folk, pop, and indie influences that showcases MARA SIMPSON's undeniable talent and charm. So grab a cuppa, put on your favourite jumper, and let Simpson's music warm your soul on those cold, rainy nights. Cheers to that!
