Burn

"Burn is less "orderly" than some of Gerrard's collaborations. Maxwell and Chapman coaxed more unrestricted emotion from her; she goes deep by directly embodying her accompaniment even as she goes wide in soaring above it. The end result is as spiritually, sensually, and emotionally enveloping as it is captivating".

"Cavalo is like a musical and cultural melting pot; Amarante alternates between singing in English, French and Portuguese, and incorporates elements from various musical cultures and genres. The listener gets a taste of tropicália, bossa nova, folk and rock all within the span of about 38 minutes. That being said, the album still manages to feel like a cohesive whole with songs that complement each other".

"Stemmen, der tårner sig op og er umulig at ryste af sig, er Lisa Gerrards. Hun har sammen med multimusikeren Jules Maxwell på Burn begået et album, som med sin styrke formår at løfte én som lytter ud af det ordinære og nærmest transcendere en form for sjælelig renselse. Udspillets syv numre føles da også som at indgå en pagt med de højere magter og er centreret omkring naturen med elementer som ild, vind, havet, og hvordan dyr forstår mennesker ... Det er føles som at være i det uendelige, når Lisa Gerrard ruller sin unikke vokal ud. Det gør Burn til en fascinerende rejse og føles som ren balsam for sjælen".

"Burn is a classic album featuring Gerrard doing what she does best - crafting transformative vocals that are haunting and mesmerizing. Paired with Maxwell who has crafted a substantial career composing music for dance, theatre and film, he has created vast auditory worlds that are easy to get lost in. If you're a fan of Dead Can Dance or any of Gerrard or Maxwell's vast array of cinematic works, this album is a welcome addition".
