EP Review: Becky Syson - Weave Your Dreams (Arboretun Records)

Nottingham-based singer-songwriter Becky Syson releases her latest EP containing four new songs, following the 2008 release of her debut full length album H.O.L.L.A.N.D. subtitled Hope Our Love Lasts and Never Dies in case you were thinking it was about a place in the Western Netherlands. The songs on WEAVE YOUR DREAMS are instantly accessible, each featuring Becky's distinctive vocal and rich sense of melody. Nancy's Song appears to be the stand out song, an uplifting ode to enduring love, but is quickly succeeded by Golden Ring, another celebration of complete love. The title song is for all intents and purposes a lullaby, full of thoughtful optimism and reassurance.  

There used to always be the feeling that EPs were essentially one predominant single with a few additional songs tagged on. I like to think of WEAVE YOUR DREAMS as four singles in one, each to be thoroughly enjoyed equally as we eagerly await the songwriter's second full length album in due course.
