Lesley Rae Dowling - Lesley Rae Dowling
Review by Brad McCarty
Lesley Rae Dowling's self-titled album is a masterpiece of South African music. Released in 1982, the album features Dowling's unique blend of folk, pop, and jazz influences, and showcases her incredible vocal range and songwriting skills.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "The Spaniard," a song that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Dowling's voice is both powerful and vulnerable, and she sings with an emotional intensity that draws the listener in.
Other standout tracks on the album include "The Ballad of the Sad Cafe," a poignant tale of lost love, and "Unravished Bride," a powerful feminist anthem that showcases Dowling's lyrical prowess.
