If Shakespeare’s ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’ had a soundtrack, it would be exactly this one. It’s not an overstatement, ‘(The) Evening’ is a masterwork, I’m not afraid to say it. It’s a flawless project that owns the colors and emotions of the sunsets, the magic of a reverie, the magnetism of a smile. While we couldn’t expect less from such a talent, I have to admit Ford. has exceeded any expectations with this album. ‘(The) Evening’ is a full package: there’s no filler tracks (not even the instrumental version of ‘Craving’), no purposeless interludes and not only is each one of the ten tracks remarkable by itself, but the story they create flows fluidly like poetry.
Rarely do I appreciated so much of the tracks’ disposition. While the instrumental ones tease our fantasies and imagination with amusing bright landscapes, the charming voices of Sarah Kinsley and Sophie Meyers burst into the story with perfect timing and, like the legendary sirens, seduce us listeners, making us loose ourselves in these enchanted views.
