Review of Hardly A Day
"After her two previous releases were received extremely favourably, Olwen returns confidently with this five track EP, and she sounds in fine voice. Mark Edwards is back again as producer (and first-rate pianist) but this time round a pop/rock vibe is the order of the day. All of the songs included here are self-penned and, lyrically, Olwen's skill of expressing herself in a simple, universal style is as strong as ever...On "Belong To You" Olwen's voice soars effortlessly over a backing that includes strings that wouldn't sound out of place on a James Bond movie soundtrack. "Promised Land" is another highlight where Olwen is joined by the congregation of CityCoast church in Portslade where she leads worship. Closing number "You Know My Name", over the course of its ten and a half minutes, builds from a beautifully sparse piano ballad to an epic full band work-out. A breathtaking finale to a record that could just be the finest release of Olwen's career so far."
