Our Take

Sharon Shannon's latest offering, "Sacred Earth," is like a breath of fresh air in a world of auto-tuned mediocrity. The Irish accordionist has once again proven why she is a force to be reckoned with in the folk music scene.

From the mesmerizing opening track "Sacred Ground" to the toe-tapping "The Reckoning," Shannon takes listeners on a musical journey that is equal parts haunting and exhilarating. Her mastery of the accordion is truly something to behold, as she effortlessly weaves together traditional Irish melodies with modern twists.

But what sets "Sacred Earth" apart from Shannon's previous work is the sense of introspection and spirituality that permeates each track. Songs like "Mystic Dream" and "Sacred Waters" transport listeners to a world where nature and music are intertwined, creating a sense of peace and serenity that is truly captivating.

In a world obsessed with flashy production and over-the-top performances, Shannon's stripped-down approach is a refreshing change of pace. "Sacred Earth" is a reminder that sometimes all you need is a talented musician and a heartfelt melody to create something truly special.

So do yourself a favour and give "Sacred Earth" a listen. You won't be disappointed. Sharon Shannon has once again proven why she is a musical force to be reckoned with, and this album is a testament to her unparalleled talent and creativity.
