Best recognised for her traditional Scottish songs, Coreen Scott has taken a turn, quite literally in another direction. Scott has travelled to France, England and Portugal to draw inspiration to create this wonderful album.

Listening to this album, I am taken on a journey with Coreen Scott, I particularly enjoy her interpretations of "To make you feel my love" which until this album I thought that it was originally by Adele. No, Scott's version of Bob Dylans beautifully written song suits Scotts voice and I am glad its makes a appearance on her album.

If I am honest, I had never heard of Coreen Scott before. However after listening to this album I am sure to be listening to her previous records. I was also pleased to hear that Songbird by Fleetwood Mac was on this album. No matter what song she is covering on this album. Scott manages to take all of these songs and take stamp her own style on them. Here is where we notice the influences of other counties, such as Manha De Carnival a Portuguese song. Tracks such as these are a nice break from the rest of the songs, it's a nice change.

This album that I am talking about is called Beyond The Sea, she takes us on her journey with her wonderful music. I like how Scott adds little stories to each of the song titles that are featured inside the album cover. It makes it more intimate, almost like every story is like a little snippet of her life. Almost that we are joining her on the adventure beyond the sea.
