Our Take

Ah, Hughes & Middleton, the dynamic duo bringing us Songs For New Life And Love. This album is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking us from the grandeur of Mahler to the avant-garde world of Ives, with a sprinkle of Grimein thrown in for good measure.

The opening track, Mahler's "Songs Of A Wayfarer," sets the tone for the album with its lush orchestration and passionate vocals. Hughes' delivery is impeccable, capturing the heartache and longing of the lyrics with every note. Middleton's arrangement is nothing short of genius, bringing out the full power of Mahler's composition.

Ives' "Songs Of Ascension" takes us on a completely different journey, with its dissonant harmonies and unconventional structures. Hughes and Middleton tackle this challenging piece with gusto, showing off their versatility and willingness to push boundaries.

And just when you think you've got a handle on the album, Grimein's "Songs For A New Generation" hits you like a ton of bricks. The gritty beats and raw energy of this track are a sharp contrast to the previous songs, but Hughes & Middleton make it work seamlessly, proving that they can handle any genre thrown their way.

Overall, Songs For New Life And Love is a triumph for Hughes & Middleton, showcasing their impeccable musicianship and fearless creativity. This album is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their musical horizons and experience something truly unique.
