Customer Reviews
Close to Perfect
Beverley Craven's eagerly awaited fourth album does not disappoint. The ten tracks highlight Beverley's versatile talent for songwriting and can thrill you one moment and move you the next.
The first track, 'Rainbows' is a superb, uplifting track announcing Beverley's return with a resounding cheer. Track two, 'All Yours' would not be out of place on her third album, 'Mixed Emotions' and has a beautiful rhythmic beat.
'Without Me', track three, is a heartbreaking number layered with hope. Beverley is one of the few writers who can reach this level of emotion without reducing it to schmaltz.
The rest of the album continues to tell stories of sadness and joy. The absolute highlight is the penultimate number, 'Fun, Fun, Fun' which proves Ms Craven has a superbly wry sense of humour as the irony hits the ivories.
Although it has been a long wait, this album is one which remains in heavy rotation and I certainly hope there is a lot more to come.
Worth the wait
Back with her trademark touches of wit and irony, still telling stories with that unique vocal style. Beverley Craven makes a great return to form with an album that grows on you each time you hear it (always the best sort). The voice seems to have a touch more vulnerability than it used to have and it works so well with these songs. The production matches the tracks perfectly and I look forward to more to come.

dissapointing album
I have been a Beverley Craven fan for some years now,having two previous albums of her's, Love Scenes & Beverley Craven.
After buying her recent album in October, Close To Home, i find most of her songs and arrangments on this CD much the same and rather boring,and not up to the standard of her previous work.
