Beth Hart finds her musical space with
eighth solo release
Beth Hart’s new release, her
eighth solo album, is on a new level. There seems to be an assuredness to her
delivery here, to her lyrics, she seems to have found a spot in which to
reside, and it’s a spot she inhabits well.
Beginning with the sultry,
jazz-stained ‘Jazzman’, Fire On The Floor
covers a lot of rootsy ground – soul (‘Let’s Get Together’, the title track,
‘Good Day To Cry’), blues and blues/rock (‘Coca Cola’, ‘Fat Man’), jazz and
touches of gospel. With a crack band behind her, it’s Hart’s voice which takes
centre stage, as one would expect. Solid, soaring, assured. This is a new Beth
Hart, the conviction with which she now sings heralding the start of something
special.
