With not much more other than his voice and a guitar, Alex Roberts demonstrates his talents on every song throughout Love & Supernatural. With a somewhat raspy, emotive voice, Roberts gives the perfect vocal performance on every song on the album that is backed up with superb guitar that is never once the same or any variation of repetitive – a classic album that has more than proven it can stand the test of time.
From the get-go, it’s clear to see how good Love & Supernatural promises to be. Introducing itself with ‘Wandering Aengus’, we’re told the story of W.B. Yeats’ 1897 poem, a love story about unrequited love where Roberts’ lyrical content shines through as he able to convey stories which such ease and talent, it leaves you wanting to hear more and more. With a song of this quality first up on the album, it’s not unreasonable to expect more of the same – and Alex Roberts delivers every single time.
With songs that showcase the talents of Roberts at every turn with tracks such as ‘Broken Bow’, ‘Lord Franklin’ and ‘No Name I Recognise’, it’s easy to see why an album with this much quality has had a re-release. The level of songwriting and talent on display is something that we don’t see often, making It something that is worth a listen whatever your genre of choice is. With live tracks on top of the ones we already know and love, it elevates the overall sound of the album and the admiration you hold for Alex Roberts by getting to see a hear a new element of his music.
With new live tracks in ‘Watch Them Stars’ and ‘Jack of Diamonds’, they both give us the Alex Roberts performance we would want – with great vocals and guitar yet again, it fits perfectly into the theme and feel of Love & Supernatural. Other live songs on the album are songs we’re familiar with, with ‘Lord Franklin’, ‘Every Fall in Your Step’ and ‘Wandering Aengus’ – the latter closing out the album, just as the studio version opens it. All five are genuinely fantastic songs, with character added to it due to the rawness of it being live which alongside the studio versions makes a nice difference by helping good music stay fresh.
Love & Supernatural is more than worthy of the re-release, and with added tracks that showcase the supreme talent of Alex Roberts it’s a no-brainer to get involved in this one for its release on October 28th. Coming to all your typical streaming platforms, this is an album that you should absolutely get to know – with classics, live versions and new live songs, there is something for anyone who enjoys good vocals, guitar and lyrics.
