Absence Of Doubt
(self-released)
★★★
HAVING recorded a Radio 2 live session and had one of her songs played on US TV series Grey’s Anatomy, Suffolk-born singer-songwriter Hannah Scott returns with her third studio album.
Co-produced by Adrian Hall and largely made up of melodic, largely acoustic music, it’s an accessible set, enhanced by Scott’s impressive vocal range.
