SheBeat, Feels Like. E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

In between each song we sing out loud there is either emptiness or delight, the applause associated with finding our own groove or the bleak vacant response that comes with not understanding that the silence is also a gesture, one of defiance and the urge to let peace take hold; it is a trait, a mystery, a calmed hush that often precedes a glory in spirit. It is in that preceding hush that SheBeat, a captivating soul at all times, brings forth her latest E.P. into the world and it is one in which the noticeable change in demeanour is overwhelming and marvellously exciting to hold onto.

SheBeat, Gig Review. Constellations, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Jodie Schofield is a much missed woman around Liverpool, the voice of a thousand dreams has found another part of the world in which to rest the souls of the anxious and play for those who need saving; it is a loss that quite rightly many in the acoustic scene of Liverpool have felt but it was also one that was quickly rectified, albeit too briefly as the performer behind SheBeat, not only hosted her day of praising all things beard but also found time to perform songs and put her new SheBeat E.P. into the public gaze.

SheBeat, Gig Review. Brink, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

There are some that do so much for the city, for the community that they are part of and yet never seem to get to get the recognition they fully deserve. They get mentioned in dispatches every so often, the grateful nod of satisfaction from those whose hearts they have touched and that is all, except to those whose opinions may matter more, those who truly appreciate all that person does and in Jodie Schofield and her alter ego musical persona of SheBeat, that person should be lauded for what she brings to the cultural diversity and experience of the city.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The softly spoken but dynamite lyricist SheBeat once more was made to feel more than welcome as part of the Above The Beaten Track Festival at the Bluecoat and it is with little wonder as the sound of carefully laid out creativity echoed through the Sandon Room at the Bluecoat and the smile on the faces inside as they enjoyed the songs was something to behold.

Shebeat, E.P. Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

In a city that celebrates its music in much the same way it celebrates its sporting heroes, there are always going to be those that gets more press than others. It is the way of things, it perhaps cannot be helped but at times it might feel disingenuous to those that add so much important flavor to the world, regardless of where they play or for how long.

The City of Music: K’s Choice 2013, Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

They say there is strength in unity; it can, however that strength can be a double edged sword for in a lot of places the pride in which the artistic scene clubs together is all well and good but it doesn’t flourish because the nature of the sprawling city is not geared up to recognise the distinctiveness that resides at its heart.

SheBeat, Gig Review. Bluecoat Gardens, Liverpool. Liverpool International Music Festival.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

For a woman who has been performing for a little over 12 months, SheBeat catches audiences completely unaware, she sneaks up on them with arms outstretched and then takes her chosen audience on a journey that will stay with them for a long, long time.

The Bluecoat is a fascinating building; its history seems to seep out of every stone and edifice that makes the structure a must see, to wallow in its garden and sit and listen to the world and its joys, groans and ideas. With songs that showed great depth of character and an interesting take on life, SheBeat made sure that what she bought to the table would be enjoyed and chewed over as much as anybody else over the International Music Week Festival and rightly so.
