In Winter

Katie Melua

A starkly beautiful winter record featuring the Gori Women's Choir. Crystalline vocals and acoustic guitar meet traditional Georgian polyphony in a frozen landscape.

A hushed, reverent exploration of winter that balances communal choral warmth with solitary acoustic melancholy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting polyphonic opening of The Little Swallow where the choir creates a shimmering wall of sound.
The stark vulnerability of the Joni Mitchell cover River where the guitar is mixed bone-dry against the lush choral backdrop.
The deep resonance of the Rachmaninov Nunc Dimittis which showcases the technical range of the Gori Women's Choir.

Winter saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
