Our Take

HELEN CHARLSTON / MICHAEL CRADDOCK / ALEXANDER SOARES - "Isolation Songbook"

Listening to the ethereal sounds of Helen Charlston's haunting vocals on "Isolation Songbook" is like taking a trip to a parallel universe where beauty and despair dance hand in hand. Collaborating with pianist Michael Craddock and cellist Alexander Soares, Charlston creates a mesmerizing sonic landscape that is both melancholic and uplifting.

From the haunting opener "Alone Together" to the introspective "Isolation", the trio takes us on a journey through the complexities of solitude and human connection. Charlston's emotive delivery is complemented perfectly by Craddock's delicate piano accompaniment and Soares' soulful cello lines. Together, they weave a tapestry of sound that is both intimate and grandiose.

Tracks like "Echoes of Silence" and "Solitude Blues" showcase Charlston's vocal range and emotional depth, while songs like "Let Me In" and "Breaking Free" bring a sense of hope and liberation. The album culminates in the hauntingly beautiful "Fading Light", a stunning ode to the passage of time and the fleeting nature of existence.

In a time where isolation seems to be the new normal, "Isolation Songbook" serves as a poignant reminder of the power of music to transcend boundaries and connect us in ways that words cannot. Helen Charlston, Michael Craddock, and Alexander Soares have created a masterpiece that is both timely and timeless, a true testament to the enduring power of artistic collaboration.
