Melodic canvas

"This new long player, 'Melodic Canvas', sees Robin make a subtle change of musical direction - just as she did in 2013 with 'Soul Flower'. Before that Ms McK had released three albums -all in the jazz idiom and for 'Melodic Canvas' she revisits those jazzier roots. She says that after 'Looking Glass' (her 2016 album) she worked a lot with jazz musicians on the European circuit (Robin is a major name in France in particular) and decided that the time was right to reconnect with jazz and she focused on crafting new songs that would allow her that extra degree of freedom of expression that jazz brings ... So, yes -'Melodic Canvas' is ostensibly a jazz album but be sure the soul is never far away. Whatever, it will be remembered as one of 2018's best".
