This scintillating debut from the Birmingham Conservatoire graduate melds perfectly an ear for unique melodies with her versatile, gospel-tinged vocal. The result is an album which darts between Caribbean, psychedelic and jazz influences and forms walls of symphonies, all energised by Mvula’s charm. Opener “Like the Morning Dew” calls forth a heavenly orchestra, the ecstatic “Green Garden” is impossible not to grin through, while “Is There Anybody Out There?” is bombastic, cinematic and entirely gorgeous.
