“I like being a woman who is in charge.”
Lizzy Dutton returns with See It All, a warm orchestral folk record with a wide array of twists and turns. Its title track is a good place to start, opening with vocals and guitar before expanding into a lush arrangement of clarinet, piano, drums, and bass, and then surprising at the end with a curious and intriguing instrumental coda.
The album’s closer “I Shall Not Fear” is another standout, a song that feels as old as the yellowing pages of a book in the back of a vast library. It’s about birth, life, death. Listening to Lizzy Dutton gives you the sense that great care was taken to deliver these songs in their current form, from her poetic diction to their subtle arrangements and exacting choral harmonies. They are songs that present a slice of life, including its unpredictable journeys, feelings, and human connections.
