Meredith Braun - When Love Is Gone (Original Soundtrack)

2017 release. Five years following the release of Meredith Braun's critically acclaimed debut album Someone Else's Story, Meredith returns with her solo album, When Love Is Gone. The title for the release comes from the Paul Williams song Meredith performed in the iconic film The Muppet Christmas Carol, which celebrates it's 25th anniversary this year. Meredith's 2017 recording of 'When Love Is Gone' marks the first time she has performed the song since recording the original version for the 1992 film soundtrack. When Love Is Gone takes the form of a narrative song cycle, based around both specially selected material and original songs. The material featured ranges from musical theatre to singer/songwriter ballads, brought together by Meredith's own self-penned and elegantly crafted musical arrangements. Written and recorded between November 2016 and July 2017, the album highlights Braun's musicality, not just as a performer but also as a musician and writer as she embraces a wide range of musical styles and genres across the recording. Meredith is accompanied on the cello by her son, 13 year-old Tiger Braun-White, a student at the Royal Academy of Music and holder of both the Leverhulme and ABRSM scholarships.
