Classically trained in composition, piano and guitar, the mature musicianship of Mara Simpson resonates throughout all of her work and collaborations, with ‘Baby You’re The One’ collecting all of her influences and nuances into one, relaxing yet subtly haunting piece. Soft piano persists throughout the piece, with gentle string lines and distant, understated drums sitting below the mellow lead vocal. Of her compositional style, Simpson says “I see music in shapes and colours, I write because I’m alive. I fervently believe in magic, in the moments of transcendence when everything makes sense”. The transcendence she mentions can certainly be heard on this release. -Dan Peeke
