Singer Gia Ford released her album A Room Within A Room on September 18 on the Chrysalis label. The British magazine DIY highlights her powerful voice, which according to the reviewer could out-shout even "the howling wind", which she sings about in the song How Do I Reply? When she uses it to the full, it is, according to DIY, majestic, especially in the second half of the album. DIY ↗
The opening track Liberty, with its piano and 80s pop, sounds according to the review as if Florence Welch had been listening to more soft rock. The more folk-oriented At Least For Now, Standing Beneath The Dream, and Cathy are described as rather forgettable. According to the reviewer, her voice stands out most when accompanied by a darker sound. The turning point comes with the track God, which moves somewhere between the more melodic Savages and the gentler Anna Calvi. DIY considers I Guess My Time Has Come to be the album's peak, in which one can hear echoes of Radiohead from the era of The Bends. DIY ↗
