SINGLE REVIEW: Samantha Grimes - The Manor

Single Review
Written By Amy

'The Manor' presents a wonderfully contemplative and gentle listen, enriched with prominent Americana influences. It evokes the imagery of an open road journey. Samantha's vocals possess a charmingly apathetic quality.

The lyrics weave a beautiful narrative, depicting the story of someone institutionalised due to god-like delusions and another unjustly taken away despite enduring parental abuse. They proceed to delve into the harshness of confinement while also highlighting the friendships that blossom within these circumstances. The concept of one troubled soul saving another, breaking free from captivity, embarking on a grand adventure, and finding happiness together is beautifully conveyed.

The exquisite acoustic guitars, harmoniously combined with Samantha's candid vocals, bestow 'The Manor' with a genuinely immersive sensation. This captivates the listener, drawing them into the story of Noah and Chrissy with its absorbing and engaging nature.

I'm Amy a Norfolk girl, currently residing at the seaside.

Age: eternally 21 (Iā€™m really Peter Pan!).

By day I'm a Leaks, Condensation, Damp and Mould Resident Liaison Officer and by night I'm CRB's admin bitch, reviewer extraordinaire, point and hope for the best photographer, paperclip monitor and expert at breaking anything technical then expecting Scott to fix it!

I'm into all kinds of music the more obscure the better (my music taste is definitely better than yours šŸ¤ŖšŸ˜œ) with my fave band being The Wonder Years.

I'm an Ipswich Town fan and have an unhealthy obsession with hedgehogs!
