Sive - 'Quietly'

In equal parts influenced by the sounds of contemporary folk and jazz, Irish artist Sive has crafted a compelling work of neo-progressive alt-folk in her latest single 'Quietly'.

Driven by Sive's engaging vocal style and the swift, accented plucking of her ukulele, a stripped solo rendition of this track would doubtless be enough to perk our ears, however the accomplished production of this intelligent single which features atmospheric swells of strings, rhythmic double bass and much other aural trickery courtesy of Matt Harris makes for a truly rewarding listen.

Richly melodic, rhythmically intriguing, 'Quietly' gets full marks from us here at EP.
