“Break The Habit” the third album from vocalist Sophie Barker. Formerly a collaborator with Zero 7 and Groove Armada, Barker’s latest release is filled with lush compositions and haunting guitar rhythms. Producer Alex Pilkington has orchestrated a intimate sound, limiting the number of musicians to allow the warmth to pour through the recordings. Each of these tunes are a delight within itself. “3 Things” features a searing electric guitar as the perfect compliment to Barker’s melodic vocals.”Breathe Me In”, performed with a full band is a stirring number that will strum the heartstrings. “Let’s Start Again” demonstrates the contrast in sounds with synths and trippy drums. Superb emotive songwriting and musicianship throughout, it will be quite difficult to break the habit of repeated spins from this wonderful record.
