Sarah Bettens - Let It Shine

Ever played an album and been less than enamoured, only to return to it few days later, put it on the CD player and been totally converted? That’s what happened with Shine. Initially, Sarah Bettens (formerly K’s Choice) and her popish style way of singing was too much for my tastes. Then I started to realise that every song had a massive hook and the album gets better with each successive play. Oh no, it won’t be the album of 2007 but this record will rejoiced those who enjoyed her first solo effort, Scream (2005), an album who also received several prizes all over Europe. And if this CD will sell is not just because of Sarah’s pretty face and warm voice, it’s also because of a strong production work, the calibre of the supporting musicians and the excellent material.
Shine, Sarah Bettens second solo record, is an optimistic work like the children drawing she choose for the front sleeve. The album is already out in Belgium and in France (Naïve). Other official release dates are: Germany, Austria, Switzerland: November 23 - Israel: November 13 - USA: November 2. For the very first time since the split of K’s Choice, Sarah and Gert Bettens will share the same stage during Sarah's upcoming European tour. As a matter of fact, Woodface, Gert's band, will open for Sarah Bettens in Luxemburg on November 28th.
