Sandi Thom - Pink & the Lily

2008 sophomore album from the Scottish singer/songwriter. The Pink &The Lily is an album that charts Sandi's growth as a singer and as a young woman with tracks tackling deep subjects such as global warming and the corporate career path to more jovial subjects like partying too hard; a subject that spawned the song 'Saturday Night' after her Manager thought she was partying and drinking too much! The classic yet contemporary sounding record is drenched in nostalgia with a recurrent theme of a less complicated life when times were easier, like the golden age of movies on 'The Last Picture house' and her own childhood on 'Mirrors'. The first single from the album; the funky, zydeco influenced 'The Devil's Beat', is Sandi Thom at her best. The song, despite it's upbeat tempo, is actually about one of the more serious themes on the album; global warming. RCA.
