| Review from CtrlAltCountry (Belgium) FOUR STARS MARISA YEAMAN - Roadmap Heart We do not want to hear you complain of the downfall of music in 2008 absolutely! The splendid Cd's continue to pile up on our desk. It has been said that we no longer get good stuff. Well, however then comes 'Roadmap Heart' the new cd of Marisa Yeaman, the Australian who's voice reminded us of Sharlene Spiteri of Texas on her debut 'Pure Motive' about three years ago. On this new album Yeaman traverses the years spent between releases. She gives us a place as a travel companion on trips through her homeland Australia, India and Europe. The resulting material is all in all a little darker than that of her debut. Set against an eclectic musical background derived from the genres of Americana, Country, Folk and Blues, Yeaman explores themes of love and pain and the people around her. She does this with great eye to detail, taking nothing away from her poetic gift. And therefore our conclusion is rather obvious: like 'Pure Motive', 'Roadmap Heart' is also an absolute 'must have'.
