Choice Cut : ''On The Side Of Me,'' ''Shelter,'' ''Beautiful Seed,'' ''33,'' ''Five Loaves And Two Fishes''
She is more than Singapore's answer to Sarah McLachlan. Six years since her debut, Corrinne May releases her fourth album Beautiful Seed and has come into a sound of her own.
Beautiful Seed showcases 13 songs (the longest Corrinne May album yet). Undeniably a highlight, the first single "On The Side Of Me" has a soaring chorus and is filled with heartrending emotions.
Other gems include "Shelter" and the title song "Beautiful Seed," which are destined to be radio favorites. "Beautiful Seed" is the most intricate song that Corrinne May has ever written. Known for incorporating stories in her songs, Corrinne May evokes positive feelings as she sings "There is hope in every heartbeat/Tiny as it seems/You're a beautiful seed."
Being a devout Catholic, Corrinne May sings of her religion in "33" and "Five Loaves And Two Fishes" -- a personal favorite of the album. And I'm not even affiliated with the religion.
Corrinne May excels at what she does best by writing songs that touch the soul. With the help of her husband/musical director/producer Kavin Hoo, Beautiful Seed is definitely her best album to date.
