Cathy Burton Silvertown CD

Three releases into a life of musical excellence and Cathy Burton finds her hands, heart and voice have crafted an album of precious perfection. Silvertown, by her own admission, is Cathy’s ‘best album so far’. One listen and the singer/songwriter is clearly proved right.

Where Silvertown shines is in its ability to deliver both captivating music and the type of perfectly matched lyrical honesty that forms powerful connections between artist and listener. Rawer, more open and acoustic, Silvertown perfectly soundtracks the healing in the midst of the hard times.

Of course, great tunes and inspiring lyrics are Cathy’s stock in trade, yet there’s something about Silvertown that shows all her finest colours in even bolder resolution. From the title track’s instant appeal to the unforgettable goodness of Love’s Invited, Cathy’s third full length album is living proof of her right to be known as the UK’s most engaging, most excited singer/songwriter on the Christian scene.

With a twenty-three date UK tour last year, Cathy knows the real value of touring – for her, live shows are the essence of the thing. Taking her message and music out, meeting people and seeing the songs make sense to an army of others similarly living faith out loud.

Silvertown shares many of the same genes as Speed Your Love and Burn Out. The title track was the result of a co-writing session with Deacon Blue’s Ricky Ross, and again Cathy has drawn on the talents of Paul Evans, Dan Wheeler, Matt Weeks and Steve Harding to flesh out the sounds, as well as bringing in the fresh talents of drummer extraordinaire Phil Crabbe and top pianist Mark Edwards.

Of course, Cathy will be appearing at all the summer festivals this year, once again proving that hers is a unique talent that shines brighter with every passing year.
