O'Boyle, Maeve - All My Sins
'Album of the Month': "...the best album of the year so far." (The Music Critic, July 2009)
"This is a debut that promises much for the future." (R2 Rock'n'Reel, Dai Jeffries, 2009)
"Linn, the people who brought you The Blue Nile, have done it again. This time, they intend to show off the quality of their high-tech audio products with probably the finest female voice to come out of Glasgow since Maggie Bell. Still just 21, Maeve has been creating quite a buzz since she stormed Celtic Connections three years ago. Many people have been looking forward to this release and they won't be disappointed with the folksy-country feel of opener, Old Greenwich Times, co-written with Ricky Ross. Other stand-out tracks include Swimming Upstream and Pray It Never Happens but Maeve's mournful, plaintive and utterly beguiling voice ensures there are no misses on this triumphant debut." 5/5 stars (Daily Express, 2009)
Produced by Calum Malcolm (The Blue Nile), "All My Sins" is a master class in melodic, folk-tinged pop and features co-writes with, among others, Ricky Ross (Deacon Blue) and Francis Macdonald (Teenage Fanclub).
