Julia Fordham, Cutting Room Floor. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

What makes the screen and what stays on the Cutting Room Floor is often a personal reconciliation after the war on self-censorship. Anything that is created by the artist is subject to greatest critic they know, not those with the thousands of readers and the sharpened visceral quill, not even the audience who wavers between love and over reliant boredom of spirit, but the artist themselves, the one to whom loathing, and adoration comes in thick, quick waves.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Virtually every artist that goes upon stage is highly regarded by those that wait patiently for their appearance in the local area. They are looked upon with a mixture of awe, the hope of being entertained and taken away from the lives the audiences have found themselves in but few seem as admired and longed for than Julia Fordham appeared to be by the crowd that filled the Epstein Theatre on a shivery and pitch black November night in Liverpool.

Julia Fordham, Under The Rainbow. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Perhaps it is with deep regret that Julia Fordham was never as big or seemingly taken as seriously as she should have been. There are many women whose presence on popular music has kept them so entrenched in the British public psyche that even well into a new a century they are still spoken about with hushed reverential tones or outlandish and bullish feelings of near greatness, Julia Fordham and perhaps the great Sam Brown, daughter of the superb Joe Brown, are unfortunately only remembered when they bring out an album or one of their earlier songs deems play worthy on the radio…days in which seem too few and far between.
