Our Take

Album: JUNE TABOR An Introduction To...

Are you tired of the same old, tired tunes clogging up your Spotify playlists? Need a breath of fresh air in the world of folk music? Look no further than JUNE TABOR's latest compilation album, "An Introduction To..."

From the moment you press play, you'll be transported to a mystical realm of haunting vocals and mesmerizing melodies. Tabor's voice is like a fine wine, getting better with age and leaving you begging for more with each track. It's a masterclass in storytelling, with each song painting a vivid picture of love, loss, and everything in between.

But don't be fooled by the gentle strumming of the guitar and the delicate fiddle melodies - there's a darkness lurking beneath the surface of these songs. Tabor's lyrics are steeped in melancholy and heartbreak, making for an emotionally charged listening experience that will leave you reeling.

So, if you're looking for an album that will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between, look no further than JUNE TABOR's "An Introduction To..." It's a musical journey you won't soon forget, and one that will have you hitting repeat again and again. So grab a cup of tea, dim the lights, and let Tabor's enchanting voice sweep you off your feet.

About the artist

June Tabor

Ah, June Tabor, the enchanting songstress who has been captivating audiences with her hauntingly beautiful voice for over four decades. With a career that spans folk, jazz, and even punk rock, Tabor is truly a genre-defying artist who never fails to surprise and delight. Born in Warwickshire, England, Tabor first made a name for herself in the folk music scene in the 1970s, quickly establishing herself as one of the leading voices of her generation. Her distinctive, melancholic vocal style has been compared to the likes of Billie Holiday and Edith Piaf, with a haunting quality that is impossible to forget. Tabor's discography is a testament to her versatility and musical ingenuity, with albums ranging from traditional folk ballads to experimental collaborations with jazz musicians and electronic artists. Her ability to breathe new life into old songs is truly remarkable, with each rendition feeling fresh and original. But it's not just Tabor's voice that sets her apart – it's also her keen eye for storytelling and her ability to transport listeners to another time and place. Whether she's singing about lost love, political turmoil, or the beauty of the natural world, Tabor's lyrics are always poignant and thought-provoking. In a world filled with manufactured pop stars and cookie-cutter performers, June Tabor stands out as a true original – a musical enigma who defies categorisation and who continues to push the boundaries of what it means to be a singer-songwriter. With each new release, Tabor proves that she is not just a musician, but a storyteller, a poet, and a true master of her craft.
