Now I've pre-empted the office joke of giving me everything welsh to review by grabbing the new album by Welsh fox and man snatcher Cerys Matthews. Sorry Cerys but I'm getting married next month love. You had your chance that time in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll-gogerychwyrndrobwll-llantysilio-gogogoch. (I wish!) Phil tells me he quite liked the last album but I never heard that one. In terms of pop/ singer songwriter stuff then this isn't bad at all. I don't think there's an enormous amount of commercial appeal here as she sounds like she's really just doing her thing instead of trying to create huge hits. The album traverses a few moods, overall its really quite sultry. There is also a Welsh language counterpart version of 'Don't Look Down' which I should be reviewing but we happened to get the english promo. The Welsh language album is 'Paid Edrych I Lawr' Out on Rainbow City.

* Cerys Matthews releases her new album ’Don’t Look Down’ on October 5th. It will make history as the first album by an artist to be released in Welsh and English language versions simultaneously.

* Her first full album since 2006’s ‘Never Say Goodbye’ , her incredible voice is fully to the fore on this new album which is jam-packed with gorgeous lush-pop anthems.

* With Cerys’s increased profile through ‘Im A Celebrity..’ and her radio show on BBC6 Music, big things are expected of this new album with TV and Radio appearances galore.

* Tracklisting for ‘Dont Look Down’:

1. Arlington Way 2. Into The Blue 3. Aeroplanes 4. Spider and the Fly 5. It’s What’s Left, That Makes it Right’ 6. Smash The Glass 7. Salutations 8. A Captain Needs A Ship 9. Evelyn 10. Oranges to Florida 11. Heron 12. Through A Glass.
