Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

To be Held, is to understand closeness, it is to feel connected, to hear of others find ways of communicating such expression without the use of physical touch is to recognise that the world over, we need contact more than we yearn solitude.

Kim Edgar’s latest release exemplifies that sentiment of persuasive truth with a kindness of touch that is embedded throughout the songs of Held. Such insightfulness which captures the meaning whilst extolling both vocal and musicianship is to be admired, to have the conversation of communication being played out in the open, rather than being buried in the hushed tones of silence.
