RØRY
Restoration
Sadcore
Life shapes you, it weathers you, and then ultimately for all of us it leaves you. So for someone who has gone through so much to come out swinging north of her 40th birthday is testament to a resilience RØRY herself probably didn’t think she had. And that is why ‘Restoration’ is so important. It shows everyone that it’s never too late. It’s never too late to try again. It’s never too late to succeed. It’s never too late to realise your life’s ambition. It goes without saying that this is a deeply personal album of a soul laid bare. You can hear it in every carefully used word. Musically we get a soundscape of pop, rock and a little metal too, all perfectly blended. It’s the vocals though that really get you, they grab your heart strings and tug on them so damn hard. Poignant and inspirationally uplifting this is a record with huge potential to have crossover success in the wider music market.
