KERNOCHAN, LESLEY - The Hummingbird Revolution (Sealed) (2LP/CD)

The US songwriter's new album doesn't begin where A Calm Sun, her highly acclaimed 2017 album ends, but rather consciously picks up the once spun thread and continues it. Country and folk continue to be elementary elements of their sound, but according to the cosmopolitan statement that makes up the framework of their content, world and jazz sounds are now also finding their way into their sound worlds. As universal as the music is at times traditional, so contemporary are the lyrics. According to her nature Lesley does not draw the world in grey colours, but dresses her hopes, wishes and thoughts in poetic and above all positive lyrics.
