“Tomorrow Will Be Beautiful” Flo Morrissey
20-year Londoner Flo Morrissey’s debut release of ten dream-pop songs. Morrissey’s vocal style is lavish and cinematic, with the love ballads reaching torch-song-like dimensions. Her voice is crystalline and pure — amazing for someone so young. Unfortunately, the producer chose to do A LOT of orchestration that sometimes overwhelms the otherwise breathtaking performances. There’s an ages-old quality to many of the arrangements. She’s been compared to Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart, and in fact, used the producer who works with those artists to produce this album.

Recommended: 2, 3, 10, 5. No FCCs.
1. (4:15) Show Me – Slow- to mid-tempo. Fingerpicked guitar. Piano. Soaring, swerving vocals.
2. (3:53) Pages of Gold – Mid-tempo. Nice folk-pop melody — most radio-friendly track. Jangly guitar. Strings. Harmonies. Sounds similar to First Aid Kit. ****
3. (3:51) If You Can’t Love This All Goes Away – Slow and delicate. Piano and harp — alone at first, then supported by full orchestration and backing vocals. ***
4. (3:27) Betrayed – Slow- to mid-tempo. Fingerpicked guitar and harp again, eventually buried under an avalanche of strings.
5. (3:47) Sleeplessly Dreaming – More folky. Strummed guitar. Vocals start in a lower register, then soar. Before the strings are added, the vocal performance is again reminiscent of First Aid Kit. **
6. (3:20) I Only Like His Hat, Not Him — Mid-tempo. Piano. Orchestra. Strummed guitar is less prominent. Swelling vocals.
7. (3:46) Wildflower – Swirling, bell-like and flowery. Song ties into her hippie-like cover photo with long straight hair and a choker decorated with a large daisy.
8. (3:59) Why – Piano. Orchestra. Very expressive vocals.
9. (4:14) Woman of Secret Gold – Mid-tempo. Stop-and-go strummed guitar. Vocals in low register. Then, orchestra washes over everything.
10. (4:02) Tomorrow Will Be Beautiful – Mid-tempo closer. Starts and ends with toy piano. Featured viola and orchestra. Piano. Exquisitely handled lead vocals. This one works well. ***
