Beverley Knight: The Fifth Chapter | Album Review
Beverley Knight offers a peppy and pumping paean to female self-acceptance
Beverley Knight offers a peppy and pumping paean to female self-acceptance
High energy with a strong sense of drive and groove throughout
Redmayne delivers in spades, a gloriously excessive Emcee
It’s not just an impressive historic reconstruction – it also makes the heart dance
New orchestrations make this a fresh take, not a dutiful re-retread
What makes this so effective is Ward’s ability to convey the drama
We are placed squarely in the realm of classic Broadway – and what a pleasure that is
This recording is both impressive and alarming in that it humanises two mass murderers
Goodbye highlights, hello the real deal with reprises and atmospheric underscoring
Brown’s score runs the gamut from Deep South spirituals and jazzy popular song to operatic duets
