‘Strangest of Lovers‘ was released last Friday by Bria, a singer-songwriter from Derbyshire who blends a frail almost folky vocal with her Country tendencies on this punchy love song. There’s an admission here that all love is a peculiarity, or as Bria has it “We’re the strangest of lovers…that’s the way it’s meant to be“.
Sure, I could climb high in a tree, or go to Skye on my holiday. I could be happy. All I really want is the excitement of first hearing The Byrds, the amazement of decades of Dylan's music, or the thrill of seeing a band like The Long Ryders live. That's not much to ask, is it?
