Review

In "Z-Sides", Tom Rosenthal weaves a sonic tapestry that whispers secrets to the soul. Released in 2018, this enchanting album is a tender collection of 12 tracks that surrender to the intimacy of folk and acoustic elements.

The album's gentle awakening begins with "Asleep on the Train", a lulling serenade that sets the tone for the emotional odyssey to come. As we delve deeper, we find ourselves enveloped in the warm, golden light of "Lights Are On", where the tempo picks up and the melodies swell with an infectious energy. And then, there's "Have We Met Before?", a hauntingly beautiful duet with Fenne Lilly that showcases Rosenthal's gift for crafting melodies that unfurl like petals of a flower.

Throughout "Z-Sides", Rosenthal's lyrics unfold like the pages of a diary, revealing introspective moments that are both deeply personal and relatable. The album's perfect balance of lilting rhythms and soaring hooks ("Busy and Important", "Forests") is a testament to Rosenthal's mastery of the singer-songwriter's craft. The production is equally impressive, with crisp instrumentation that allows Rosenthal's voice to take center stage, its emotions and nuances shining like a beacon in the darkness. - Soraya
