  • Description

    More From The Heart follows the critically acclaimed 2022 debut, Heart of Mine by composer, songwriter and pianist Ross Lorraine, produced by Claire Martin, the recording features leading vocalists Joanna Eden, Iain Mackenzie, Noemi Nuti, Irene Serra, Christine Tobin and Charlie Wood.

    Lorraine has chosen six contrasting vocalists who sing two songs each to better serve the many genres and moods of the music. "Christine Tobin's rich and emotional tones were a natural choice for the more folk-oriented tracks," explains Lorraine. "I was very pleased to discover the voice of Charlie Wood, with its warmth and humanity, which seems to suit my songs perfectly. I already knewand loved the singing of Irene Serra - she has a strong, rhythmic style with a lot of character, that suited some of the more upbeat numbers, and Noemi Nuti's sweet, expressive singing suited the gentler tracks. And I was delighted to get to know the singing of Joanna Eden, with her amazing vocal technique and emotional honesty, who perfectly realised the two songs that probably mean the most to me on a personal level, 'After You' and 'Down On My Knees'."

    Most of Lorraine's songs come from personal feelings or experiences, often starting with an improvised riff or melody that evokes a memory or emotional responseincluding 'After You', 'Down On My Knees', 'Human Kindness' and 'After All'. Others are imagined stories from people's lives - 'Dear Betty' was prompted by a genuine three-line Victorian letter: Dear Betty/ I hate you/ Love, George. 'Scissors Paper Stone', 'Finding Our Feet', and 'Sleep My Darling', have associations with childhood, seen from the perspective of older age. Songs, such as 'What You Got', 'He Said She Said', Downtime' and 'You Never Knew Me', have a more ironic view on life and relationships.
