Lucinda Drayton's second solo album, is a dedication to the benevolent unchanging one - Shiva. Mellow and emotional, The Mirror is a reflection of Lucinda's turbulent years. The songs chart a period of great personal change, the ups and downs of loss and learning. There are light hearted observations on being in the present (Sit Right Here). Deep and soulful comments on the healing that comes after a relationship breakdown (At Least I loved You) and joyful outpourings of the spontaneous happiness that comes from deep inside the self (Let The Bells). The final track (The Fisherman), is achingly beautiful and tells the woes of clinging to the past.
The occasional sound of the slide guitar adds a welcoming country element, while the piano, strings and acoustic guitar blend as seamlessly as ever with Lucinda's gifted vocals. Honest and contemplative.
Wow what a journey it's been! These songs say it all. They chart the highs and lows, the tears and the grace of the last two years, which have been the most challenging times of my life. Lucinda Drayton.
