Carla Morrison - Amor Supremo

A satisfyingly enveloping, richly emotive record, its gusts, swirls and swoops rendered in both Morrison's evocative (Spanish-language) vocals and the lush - yet generally understated - mix of electronic haze and more organic instrumentation that flows through. With this kind of album, there's almost always that 'one song' and here it's track 3 - "Vez Primera". (Some other artists and records that this has called to mind at various points over the last few weeks: Lykke Li, The Magician's Private Library, Amaya Laucirica, Rome (and Little Broken Hearts), Lana Del Rey (kind of).)
