She wrote it from the imagined perspective of her biological mother, if she were to see her now. She would only have memories of Crystal as a 'Baby Girl' and to look at her now would remind her how many years went by without each other. |

You've never heard Pop music swung like this before! |

Pat Powell: About Time | |
|||
|
'About Time' speaks to the heart of your favourite soul music, then takes twists and turns through romantic blues ballads and Motown funk via the deep south. Underpinned by the unfailing vocals of Australian artist Pat Powell (vocals for Melbourne Ska Orchestra, Kylie Minogue and countless others) the album meanders through gospel inflected harmonies reminiscent of the Staple Singers, powers through funk horn pieces worthy of a Sharon Jones set, then settles into organ-driven grooves and Jamaican upbeat. Easy on the ear but with a lot more sass than your average fare. |
