Kiss From The Balcony bears all the hallmarks of Madeline Kenney’s previous work with her unassuming presence, and layer upon layer of textures and sounds that leaves you discovering something new at every turn. The album was originally conceived as an EP, and there are moments where this is obvious losing the connecting thread, though each track shines in its own way. They Go Wide gives the most space to Kenney’s boundless voice, soaring through the track in an ethereal way not a million miles from Kate Bush. The album finishes on All I Need, which feels like a safe return to indie singer-songwriting, but with the occasional flairs of harmonic interest that mark Kenney out as a unique voice in the noise.
