Gwawr Edwards - Alleluia

Review by Solene Guillaume

Gwawr Edwards' latest album, Alleluia, is a beautiful collection of Welsh hymns and songs that showcases her stunning vocal abilities. The album features a mix of traditional hymns and contemporary compositions, all of which are performed with passion and skill.

Edwards' voice is the standout feature of the album, with her soaring soprano delivering each song with precision and emotion. She is accompanied by a talented group of musicians who provide a rich and varied musical backdrop to her vocals.

One of the highlights of the album is the hauntingly beautiful rendition of "Calon Lân", a traditional Welsh hymn that has been given a fresh new arrangement. Edwards' voice is particularly impressive on this track, conveying the heartfelt sincerity of the lyrics.

Another standout track is "Y Gân", a contemporary composition that showcases Edwards' versatility as a performer. The song begins with a gentle acoustic guitar melody before building to a powerful crescendo, with Edwards' vocals leading the way.
