Album Notes
Mary Hopkin's latest album is a series of musical doodles. Her only motivation was the question, "Wouldn't it be fun if I tried this... or this... or that?""
The answer is eighteen tracks encompassing choral and orchestral, Latin grooves, haunting piano and folky acoustic guitar. All are written and performed by Mary herself. Most feature Mary's layered vocals, with some additions from her daughter Jessica (who co-wrote one track), her son Morgan and Jessica's partner Christian. For this album she has eschewed lyrics, focusing a variety of inspired melodies and rhythms.
"In a world where we are all so restricted by rules and regulations, it's important to find some time and space for yourself where you can be a child again, trying out new things, exploring, experimenting, finding joy in the unexpected... when you get out of your own way and simply have fun."
