Far Beyond Frail
A Girl, Almost...
Still Life Music

This group is made up of singer Sharlynn Verner and David Cecil. Their new EP is a pleasant offering. I'm reminded of Sarah McLachlan and other artists of that ilk. "This Time Love" sees Verner singing softly to a hushed backing. The lyrics concern troubled love in a realistic way.

"Run Away" is a lovely little song where Verner's piano stands out. Its words of wanting to escape life's troubles should resonate with many. "Love Gets in the Way" sees Verner's singing and playing at its best. She's capable of expressing much with the smallest gestures. This is a very nice record.
