The WomensRadio review of “Many Waters” ranked among the top 10 album reviews for the year,  coming it at no. 3!

AUGUST 12, 2010 - Brilliant pop singer-songwriters always get compared to the likes of ELVIS COSTELLO or AIMEE MANN. The lyrics of these artists are literate, clever and universally praised for their insight and dissections of human relationships through song. Seattle-based singer-songwriter GAYLE CLOUD has all of these things going for her as well but there is one thing that makes CLOUD stand out from the rest - her lush and intricate world rhythm sound. Her latest release ‘MANY WATERS’ marks the second  time that CLOUD has teamed up with producer JOHN PAHMER following her previous CD ‘SECOND CHANCE’. Clearly this musical partnership thought it best to keep a good thing going. PAHMER provides the perfect percussive and melodic soundscape for CLOUD’s sensuous vocals to swoop and swirl over – namely on such wistful and whimsical numbers as BOMBAY, SNOW KEEPS FALLING and the incandescent GOLDEN WINGS.

You can see snippets of my recent CD launch show at the UW Ethnic Cultural Center in Seattle.  Check it out!

“The masterful production (John Pahmer), artistry and songwriting of “Golden Wings” is reason enough to pick up a copy of Many Waters, and as the positive world-influenced vibrations ascend straight to the sky, Gayle’s ethereal and otherworldly vocals pierce the listener straight through the heart.”

As Many Waters moves forward, elements of Americana, Blues, Downtempo, Electronica and Pop manifest themselves into the listener’s stream of consciousness and then “Turn Around Loverboy” hits the unsuspecting listener with a bolt of lightning and thunder clap.  Organ, electric guitar, drum loops and a once-in-a-lifetime vocal offering from Gayle meld together in a grungy electronic melting pot that comes out sounding more like Massive Attack or Portishead.  This is *definitely* a track that you would hear on the BBC!  Think Trip-Hop + the “darker” side of love.
