Choice Cut : ''On The Side Of Me,'' ''Shelter,'' ''Beautiful Seed,'' ''33,'' ''Five Loaves And Two Fishes'' She is more than Singapore's answer to Sarah McLachlan. Six years since her debut, Corrinne May releases her fourth album Beautiful Seed and has come into a sound of her own. Beautiful Seed showcases 13 songs (the longest Corrinne May album yet). Undeniably a highlight, the first single 'On The Side Of Me' has a soaring chorus and is filled with heartrending emotions. Other gems include 'Shelter' and the title song 'Beautiful Seed' which are destined to be radio favorites. 'Beautiful Seed' is the most intricate song that Corrinne May has ever written. Known for incorporating stories in her songs, Corrinne May evokes positive feelings as she sings 'There is hope in every heartbeat/Tiny as it seems/You're a beautiful seed.' Being a devout Catholic, Corrinne May sings of her religion in 'Five Loaves And Two Fishes' -- a personal favorite of the album. And I'm not even affiliated with the religion. Corrinne May excels at what she does best by writing songs that touch the soul. With the help of her husband/musical director/producer Kavin Hoo, Beautiful Seed is definitely her best album to date. - Angelina Yeo -MTVAsia.com
Here's something curious about Corrinne May - she is a dream-pop merchant who sings about 'skeletons in my closet' and still makes one feel as if one is snuggling up near a fireplace during Christmas. It's lonely music for not-so-lonely folk. On her fourth album, the Los Angeles-based Singaporean remains faithful to the template she's finessed : gorgeously sung retrospection that chronicles a spiritual revival of mind and spirit. For one, it's hard to quibble with Five Loaves And Two Fishes that has the singer baring her soul - 'Take my fears and my inhibitions/ All my burdens, my ambitions'- over mellifluous strings and piano. That said, the songs tend to blend into a pleasant whole - one would have wished for a dusting of grit in the arrangements in otherwise solid compositions. Take the track Scars (Stronger For Life) : Brilliant words, but Corrinne, why not siphon the usual Hallmark-esque piano/strings set-up and go for a daring guitar-only setting that lets the emotions fray? -Yeow Kai Chai -The Straits Times, Singapore
