Albumism’s 50 Best Albums of 2017 | #41: Izzi Dunn’s ‘Recycle Love’

December 2, 2017 Albumism Staff

#41
Izzi Dunn | Recycle Love
Idunnit Music | Amazon | iTunes

According to Patrick Corcoran: “Recycle Love is the kind of understated, often overlooked album that, once heard, nestles comfortably alongside better known but equally enjoyable albums. Part of the reason for this is the presence, on six tracks, of Dennis “Dego” McFarlane of 4hero on production duties. He lends his customary silky smooth sound to proceedings, wrapping everything in a blanket of bubbling, understated soul stylings. Unsurprisingly, the string arrangements are dipped in finesse and coated in 24 karat gold, but more surprising is the smokily seductive voice that grows stronger with every listen....If ever an album deserved to be given another chance, Recycle Love is the one. It’s classy, sophisticated and unafraid to speak its mind.”
