Liverpool Sound and Vision * * * *

To constantly evolve and move forward is a must. When an artist stagnates and starts to drift, not just away from their core audience, but also in respects of becoming machine like, delving towards the beige, then the spark begins to fade, the initial burst of excitement that was first felt can dribble away like flat lemonade down a drain. This thankfully is not the case for Liverpool born Gem Andrews as she releases her second album Vancouver, beige is not to be seen, the well oiled lyrical value of one associated with the city of Liverpool is of great quality, the songs run smoothly with bristling agitation and the urge to be seen fully; beige is not an option.
