'Never Say Never' Album Review

“Over the last 18 months, I have travelled from a loft apartment in New York, to a finca in Spain, lived over a bakery in Bath, on to a factory in Germany, stayed for a while at a sheep farm in Wales, stopped off at a holiday chalet in Skegness, UK, then to a gîte in France and finally to a barn in Norfolk, England. In each place I have set down my suitcase, full of half-written songs, met up with amazing musicians, writers and producers and finished my second album.

“It has been a long, hard journey, full of trials and tribulations, full of tears, full of joy, full of laughter, full of friendship, but most of all, totally worthwhile. I hope you agree.” – Sari Schorr

We start this sophomore album with a track called 'King of Rock and Roll' which gives us a real simmering start before the wonderful vocals kick in and up the whole tune, a great way to kick off the album especially with the subtle keys every so often.

Next up is 'Thank You' which starts with a Wah Wah intro before it turns into a powerful sounding track that takes no prisoners.

​

'Ready For Love' is a slower ballad but still powerful, make no mistake, before being catapulted into 'Valentina' where the pace rises for this rock n roll express train of a track.

​

'The New Revolution' is a great track with a 'Honky Tonk Woman' vibe to start with before we reach a great driven track with wonderful strong vocals.

​

'Beautiful' is a much more refined and mellow bluesy number but still maintains the powerful vocals that fit perfectly, and as the title says, this is a 'Beautiful' song.

'Turn The Radio On' is probably the most radio friendly track on the album and is more of a power ballad that builds and builds before the chorus will have your foot tapping along before you know it.

​

'Maybe I'm Fooling' has a great guitar intro that takes you into a great funky and rockin' tune, definitely one to turn up to 11.

​

'Back To L.A.' has more of a commercial sound again, but still retains that awesome vocal tone.
