Description

While there’s a fairly long list of musicians who dabbled as rock writers before they clicked as performers, there aren’t nearly as many successful music scribes who took up performing after they earned a reputation for their way with words. Sylvie Simmons is a veteran music journalist who has been covering rock & roll since the mid-’70s and has seen her byline in nearly every major music magazine. On Sylvie, Simmons sings and accompanies herself on ukulele, while bassist Thøger Lund and multi-instrumentalist Gelb provide nearly all the additional instrumentation, and if Simmons’ voice is naturally light and sweet, it also carries plenty of weight, carrying her songs of love and heartache with a homespun grace that’s charming and genuinely effective.
