It was especially meaningful for us to make the Fresh Faves with "Let love" after submitting it to the Fresh on the Net Inbox on the second anniversary of Cathy Roberts' death. It's her voice you hear at the end of the track.
"For the first two minutes, Let Love is just singer Ming’s vocals and that plucked guitar, in what could actually have been an entire song in itself, but then it bursts into colour with a (still restrained) bass and drums accompaniment. Soon Ming’s vocals start to soar, and clarinet and trombone break through like sunlight. It’s very cleverly done, because throughout, and despite these shifts, the track holds onto its core essence of being as gentle and beautiful as its subject"
