Rating: B
Album number two Invisible, from British indie folk rock
duo Blackheart is another superbly crafted offering that finds
Rick Pilkington and Chrissy Mostyn picking up where their
successful debut Indigo left off.
The duo’s sound is largely centered on Mostyn’s gorgeous,
soaring vocals which are absolutely magnificent on the lush
ballads “Thank God You Found Me”, “Flyaway”, “Goodbye
Everything”, and the stirring title track. I have to admit that
while I’m not one who is generally a fan, or someone who pays
too much attention to music of the soft rock variety, the well
thought out arrangements and splendid melodies on Invisible
had me hooked right from the beginning. So regardless of whether
you’re a hard rocker, a jazz head or a folkie, there’s no
denying both the talent and dedication of Pilkington and Mostyn,
and it’s hard to ignore the fact that they possess a definite
knack for crafting songs with memorable and uplifting melodies.
If the lighter sounds of folk, pop rock are up your alley then
you should definitely check out what Blackheart are doing on
Invisible.
