Here's my heart come take it

"Her cool, no-nonsense vocals are backed by her own harp and piano, providing melody, rhythm and bass lines, and she's helped by the subtle addition of fiddle, percussion and brass. Newton may be best known for her work with the Furrow Collective, the Shee and the Emily Portman Trio, but she's an increasingly compelling solo performer".

"The material is mostly doomstruck - for relief there's a setting of Walter Scott's An Hour With Thee - but the playing and arrangements are sharp, and the album a beauty".

"Grafting all her experience with The Shee, Emily Portman, Furrow Collective, the Elizabethan Sessions and Boreas into a cogent, sensible composite, Newton delivers a thing of great beauty. This, her third solo album, is a well-judged amalgam of harp and voice, Gaelic and English, traditional and contemporary, old and modern, storytelling and atmospherics ... We are mostly in the midst of the darkly melancholic moods portrayed on Poor Lost Babe but such is the yearning sense of wonder of these presentations it is never sultifying, and her adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's An Hour With Thee, for one, is peerless".
