Utopia, Saunders’ fourth solo album, is an extraordinary exploration of all of her past lives. If the singer regards her first three solo records — 2014’s Y Dydd Olaf, 2018’s Le Ko v and 2022’s Tresor as “childhood records”, rooted in her upbringing, her parents, her formative identity, then Utopia captures a time of self-determination and experimentation. These are songs of discovery, of the years between being someone’s daughter and becoming someone’s wife and someone’s mother. They range from floor-fillers to piano ballads, via contributions from Cate Le Bon and H. Hawkline, and encompass William Blake, a favourite Edrica Huws poem, and the Number 73 bus. It is her finest work to date.Tracks1~1~London 1757 1~2~Dancing On Volcanoes 1~3~Utopia 1~4~Y Gath 1~5~War 1~6~73 1~7~The Devil 1~8~Ghost Of You 1~9~St Ives New School 1~10~HirethDetailsCatalogue Number: HVNLP234CFormat: VinylArtist: GwennoRelease Date: 11 July 2025Genre: AlternativeLabel: Heavenly RecordingsDistributor: Inertia Music Show more
