Track Review: OUTRI feat. Imogen Bose-Ward – Her Bright Smile

Crowbarring the use of ‘juxtaposition’ into a GCSE English essay became an obsession of mine in high school, but the latest offering from OUTRI hands it to me on a plate.Take a song originally conceived in 1864, now beautifully delivered by folk singer Imogen Bose-Ward, and then add the signature bass-driven soundscapes from Ian Paterson aka OUTRI –and voilà.

If this reimagining of a classic folk song were on a Heston Blumenthal menu one would be forgiven for asking for seconds; the beauty and simplicity of the vocals are served with a dash of complex electronica. If you’re on the lookout for a unique, new sound –look no further. Bon appétit.
