Over a year after the release of Sing to the Moon, Laura Mvula followed her Mercury Prize-nominated, Top Ten U.K. debut album with this -- an alternate song-by-song version, recorded with the 52-member Metropole Orkest at London's Abbey Road Studios. While there are some obvious studio touches, most evident with some of Mvula's vocals, this is a small treat for orchestral pop lovers and others who hear the original album as an over-produced product of its time -- a bit too Baz Luhrmann.
