Having released three albums in Welsh and Cornish, "Utopia" is Gwenno Saundersā first album recorded predominantly in English, and presents a very different side to her life and song writing.
Forty-three years into her life, Saunders has been many people. The disaffected Cardiff schoolgirl; the teenage Las Vegas dancer; the singer in indie pop group The Pipettes. There was a turn in a Bollywood film, a nightclub tour, a stint cleaning floors in an East London pub. Long before she would become an acclaimed solo songwriter in both Welsh and Cornish, a winner of the Welsh Music Prize, a nominee for the Mercury, a Bard of the Cornish Gorsedh, there were the days of Nevada, London, Brighton; of Irish dancing, techno clubs, messiness and chaos.
"Utopia", Saundersā fourth solo album, is an extraordinary exploration of all of these selves. If the singer regards her first three solo records ā 2014ās Y Dydd Olaf, 2018ās Le Kov and 2022ās Tresor as āchildhood recordsā, rooted in her upbringing, her parents, her formative identity, then Utopia captures a time of self-determination and experimentation.
These are songs of discovery, of the years between being someoneās daughter and becoming someoneās wife and someoneās mother. They range from floor-fillers to piano ballads, via contributions from Cate Le Bon and H. Hawkline, and encompass William Blake, a favourite Edrica Huws poem, and the Number 73 bus. It is her finest work to date.
*Limited to 1 copy per customer/household, multiple orders will be cancelled without notice.
