“Three years after welcoming us into her world on the widely praised debut album ‘Island Girl’, London resident Aleksandra Kwasniewska returns for a second album with the trusted backing from her outstanding trio The Belgian Sweets.
The intimacy of her lauded debut-recording still intact, the new material is drenched in a newly found confidence, incorporating new styles into her already broad palette, but at the same time maintaining a stronger focus on the unity of mood and atmosphere of the recordings.
Luxuriating in the rich textures of the mainly acoustic arrangements, Aleksandra’s way with melody comes to the fore, projecting a gentle melancholy that seems to transcend the different languages she sings in.
Aleksandra brings her culture to a wider audience mostly by inhabiting the timeless beauty of this gentle melancholy which permeates the gentle grooves and lush sounds of this great new album."
