Review on the Echoes and Dust website



�Down With Gravity� is Beccy Owen's third CD and a masterful musical festival it is too. Blessed with one of the sweetest, almost classical voices, Beccy writes and sings about love, life and and the oddly abstract, in a compelling way. From the opening joyful lines of �In Your Company� to the haunting beauty of �The Deeps�, �Down with Gravity� is an album of maturity and thoughtfulness. �Lullaby� a duet with Kate Rusby is simply gorgeous! Allow yourself a few moments to drift into a dream where Beccy is your all nurturing universal mother...Oh go on!

One of my very favourite things about Beccy's songs is that they are so poetic that you need to/want to listen over and over to reinterpret what they may mean - different things at different times.

My favourite track right now has to be �Stalemate� featuring the wonderful Richard Dawson. Telling the tale of a not entirely satisfactory relationship, the two vocals dance around each other, throwing cynical lyrics in each others' paths. It's delicious!

Beccy has a considerable and loyal following in the North East - it would be wonderful to see this album gain a wider audience. She's a talented girl and she deserves it.

You can check out Beccy's songs on her website or on My Space.
