Chasing Tigers
Solo Album // 2012
Mim Grey’s second album, Chasing Tigers follows hot on the heels of her brilliant debut Grey Matters which received critical acclaim from the UK s most respected music publications and national press alike. The first single from that album ‘Sunday Best’ was a Radio 2 favourite and Mim’s Christmas single Xmas Kiss had the distinction of being only one of two records to be added to the Radio 2 Christmas playlist, the other being Coldplay.
Reviews
Mim Grey returns with her follow-up to her highly enjoyable debut album ‘Grey Matters’. She has also been busy touring with the likes of Tom Jones and Roxette. Like the debut album she is helped out with her co-songwriter Cori Josias, a strong partnership as this album demonstrates.The main change from the debut is a more expansive sound and some neat instrumental touches here and there. There is breezy pop like ‘Travelling Star’ (a single if ever there was one) and more reflective songs like ‘Melting’, which really reminded me of Sheryl Crow. In fact Mim grey’s sound is a mix if the country-lite of Sheryl Crow and more straight ahead pop tunes. A song like ‘Little Piece Of Glass’ is a definite step up from her debut and good to see some spike in the lyrics with a pop at the music big wigs on ‘Mr Big Man’.
Mim Grey has built on her accomplished debut album and she is going from strength to strength musically. Grab a copy and see what you have been missing.
