In 2021, Cristina Vane released Nowhere Sounds Lovely, which Mike Davies described as a stylistically eclectic and beguiling Americana album that speaks of hope, longing, connection and wonder; seen through Vane’s lens, the road to “nowhere” may be both daunting and inviting, but it is most assuredly lovely.
Having grown up between England, France, and Italy, Vane is no stranger to a semi-nomadic lifestyle and her roots most recently settled in Tennessee, which informs her new album, from which the following video is the title track.
While her voice and resonator are still the stars of the show, this album has stronger roots feel. Stripped-back and with a rhythm that hooks you in, her fingerstyle and slide guitar playing really do shine. Cloaked in resilience, this plucky number has a real delta blues charm and Vane plays it to the full in this fun video.
Make Myself Me Again is out now. Also available via Bandcamp: https://cristinavane.bandcamp.com/album/make-myself-me-again
