"She" sounds good!

Caamora's second EP release offers some more enticing teasers for their forthcoming "She" project, due to be unveiled towards the end of this year.

The core pairing of the multi-talented Clive Nolan (ARENA, PENDRAGON, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN etc.) and singer Agnieszka Swita are joined for this EP by Mark Westwood of NOE on guitar, Scott Higham of SHADOWKEEP on drums, and John Jewitt of IQ and JADIS on bass. Two of the four tracks, "Shadows" and "Invisible" are due to be included in "She", while the title track and "I can see your house from here" are unique to this EP. All four tracks are composed by Clive.

The opening title track is an impassioned plea for tolerance with a relationship ("I don't walk on water"). Here Swita and Nolan duet on vocals while Westwood ads some fine guitar. The upbeat, commercial tones of the track belie a sophisticated arrangement, especially in the multi-part harmonies towards the end.

Of the two tracks from "She", "Shadows" finds Swita providing a Kate Bush like vocal, backed by some melodramatic piano. The refrain section bursts forth as a melodic power ballad featuring Swita's trembling harmonised vocals . "Invisible" is a soft piano based song, which in terms of the "She" project" appears to be a soliloquy by Swita's character Ayesha.

"I can see your house from here" has nothing to do with the Camel album of that name. The song is another power ballad, which might have benefit from one of Clive's virtuoso keyboard performances.

In summary, another fine, accomplished release by Clive and Agnieszka, which further whets the appetite for the forthcoming double CD and DVD.
