O Come All Ye Faithful
By
Annie Locke
Written by
Steve Sheppard
I can’t express enough how nice it is to write the words Annie Locke, yes, the pianist is back,
and with a heart-warming rendition of a very famous seasonal carol, O Come All Ye Faithful, a creation that
has been ascribed to many authors over the years and as far back as possibly
1604. Here the pianist brings the whole mood of the carol up to date, giving it
that inimitable Annie Locke touch of
great colour and warmth.
From the very first few notes Locke makes this composition
her own, by offering us a combination of gentle and robust vibrations, this
beautifully flows into one of the most fluent and attractive versions of this
carol I have ever heard; the artist has always had a way of building on a solid
narrative and like a musical sculptor, constructing charming like nuances that
are literally palpable.
O Come All Ye Faithful by Annie Locke is what Christmas was waiting for, this magical
uplifting rendition is the brandy upon the pudding, and the snap in the
cracker, Annie has done it again, and her charming new release can take pride of
place on your seasonal playlists as the star on top of your musical Christmas
tree.
