Songwriting UK — Winter 2017

(Axel Boer) #1

32


We’ll often review an
album, enjoy it for a couple
of weeks and then forget
all about it, which is perfectly
fine. What we’re really looking
for though are those records
that you can’t shake off, whose
themes and melodies linger
and demand repeat listens.
Such was the case with Carry
Fire, an album bursting with
ideas and evocative rhythms.
Most endearing of all is the
chemistry Plant has with his
band, The Sensational Shape
Shifters. It's what lends the
songs by these supremely
talented musicians, including
one of the finest frontmen in the
history of popular music, a truly
collaborative feel.
