Description
Acclaimed and award winning author and singer songwriter releases her third studio album.
Unlike her first two albums, "Byd Bach" (Small World) is a concept album that takes the listener on a whistle-stop tour of the artist's favourite haunts in Wales. During the trip, you get to see a little bit of everywhere, namely Aberaeron, Porthgain, Penrhiwllan and Cardiff, before she charges back up the A470, paying visits to Anglesey and Llandygai Mountain.
There has certainly never been a Welsh album like it. As soon as we hear "Pobol Bach," Fflur's playful response to the Randy Newman song, "Short People," in which she introduces us to the "short" cast of her "Small World," or Abercuawg, an imaginary place referenced by the poet R.S. Thomas, we realise that we are in the hands of an unusual and gifted songwriter. Certainly there is something on this album for everyone, and it once again showcases the unique partnership between Fflur and her excellent band. Although no one musical style drives the album, with each location claiming its own particular musical style and flavour, we can certainly recognise the musical energy and strong, catchy melodies that have come to characterise "Fflur Dafydd a'r Barf", and have certainly been responsible for their broad appeal in Wales and beyond. -
