In a very different time and place, Lizabett’s music and vocals would probably be described as haunting, but right now, they’re soothing. Anything which evokes a return to nature and simpler times should be welcomed, and you should find this to be a record you can submerge yourself in.

The uplift in the second half of ‘Release’ couldn’t be described as jaunty, but it has a buoyancy that should place a smile on your face. For some people, there won’t be enough of a kick, and perhaps there is too much meandering. However, not all who meander or wander are lost, and you get the feeling Lizabett Russo knows exactly where she is going.
