Our Take

Ah, Rachel Newton's latest offering, "Sealladh" is like a breath of fresh Scottish sea air on a stormy day. This sea blue vinyl edition, accompanied by a delightful booklet, is a true collector's item for fans of folk music.

Newton's haunting vocals, accompanied by her skilled harp playing, transport listeners to the rugged shores of the Scottish Highlands. The album is a delightful mix of traditional Gaelic tunes and original compositions, each one more enchanting than the last.

From the upbeat rhythms of "Puirt a Beul" to the melancholic beauty of "Eilean Fhlodigarry," Newton's versatility as a musician shines through on every track. The arrangements are lush and intricate, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is a pleasure to unravel.

The standout track has to be "An Smeòrach," a haunting ballad that showcases Newton's vocal range and emotional depth. It's a song that lingers in the mind long after the final note has faded away.

Overall, "Sealladh" is a captivating album that showcases Rachel Newton's talent as a singer-songwriter and harpist. It's a must-have for anyone who appreciates the beauty of Scottish folk music. So grab your sea blue vinyl, settle down with the accompanying booklet, and let yourself be swept away by Newton's musical magic.
