Donna Marie has a new release out
this week. Titled “The Acoustic Sessions” it is exactly as described – an EP of
Donna’s fabulous voice accompanied – mostly – by just an acoustic guitar. The stripped back acoustics of this EP allow
you to sit back and reflect on the words.
Donna Marie has a very warm and soothing voice, and these tracks are
produced perfectly to highlight her vocals over the backing
instrumentation. Donna Marie is also a
very talented writer, writing songs that you want to listen to, with themes
that everyone can understand and relate to.
You don’t just listen to her songs, you feel them.
First track on the EP – Run,
is apparently about running to a lover, but on a second listen it feels like a
metaphor for life – running through life, climbing hills until you achieve…whatever
you are personally running to.
The second track is a song
written 13 years ago and is an apology to a young nephew for not having time to
spend with him, and losing sight of what is important in life. I’m sure that all these years later he
understands and forgives Donna Today and every day. Just Words is a great reminder for us
all!
Track 3 – On The Road
was Donna’s last single which we reviewed and loved. This is a chance to hear an acoustic version
of a much-streamed song
The EP is rounded off with
another re-worked track – Broken Love was originally released in 2015,
and as with all the tracks it really benefits from being stripped back to
become almost an entirely new song
Donna Marie will be
performing an acoustic set on The Maverick Magazine stage at Millport Country
Festival – and if this EP is any indication of what we will be hearing it will
be an unmissable performance.
We will be there front and
centre, appreciating her voice and reflecting on her words
Donna Marie Songs – The Acoustic
Sessions Volume 2 is released on 22 August. Pre-order it here
