NEW LIFE FOR CURVED AIR CHANTREUSE SOLO ALBUM Songs From The Acid Folk - Sonja Kristina (MSMCD109) Released: 18-2-02 Market Square Records A critically-acclaimed but hard to find solo album by former Curved Air singer Sonja Kristina makes a welcome return to the retail racks from February 18 in the shape of "Song From The Acid Folk" (Market Square Records MSMCD109). One of rock's best known singers, the striking and individualistic Sonja Kristina returns here to her folk / psychedelic roots, alchemised in a highly original, fiery form of acoustic music which she refers to as "acid folk". "Songs From the Acid Folk," was released in 1991 to critical acclaim and includes twelve acoustic workouts, amongst them Curved Air classic, "Melinda (More or Less)", which Sonja and the excellent band supporting on this album had been playing live. Standout tracks include the album's singles "Anna/Devil May Care" and an acid folk reworking of the Curved Air hit, "Back Street Luv". This release comes with strong bonus tracks including the lovely "Penumbra" (which had been left off the original record) and the moving "Free to Be," a song for the production of Shona, a West End play starring Sonja and pre-dating "Acid Folk" by one year. "Songs from The Acid Folk" is a must-have, not only for Curved Air fans and devotees of Sonja's solo work, but for anyone who appreciates fine songwriting, excellent musicianship - and those extraordinary, beautiful vocals.
