Review

Gabrielle Aplin's debut album, "English Rain," released in 2013, is a charming synthesis of pop and folk influences. With her soothing vocals and introspective songwriting, Aplin captures both critical acclaim and commercial success. The production by Mike Spencer is as meticulously balanced as a well-tended garden, allowing Aplin's voice to blossom beautifully.

The album oscillates between cheerful and pensive tones, featuring standout tracks like "Salvation" and "Please Don't Say You Love Me," showcasing her knack for creating both catchy and emotive melodies. Aplin's lyrics explore love, relationships, and self-discovery, drawing listeners into a relatable landscape of emotion and experience. While critics might assert it lacks bold experimentation, "English Rain" remains a compelling, ear-catching journey, validated by its gold certification in the UK. In essence, it's a testament to Aplin's distinct talent and wide appeal. - Claire
