Sarah Elizabeth Foster's intriguingly titled EP, Gardening From The Ground Upis a short but sweet record that showcases the dynamic voice of this classically trained vocalist, pianist, and ballerina. Far from being a singer songwriter, Foster's voice is more like that of a chanteuse or a torch singer than anything approaching the cliche. Her pipes are solid and the girl can actually sing; thankfully the songs around her allow her demonstrate the talent that she has. While I'm not a fan of the genre that Sarah Elizabeth Foster dwells in, I can certainly appreciate the ability and talent Sarah Elizabeth Foster has.
Sounding something like a cross between Norah Jones, Joni Mitchell, and a lounge singer, Sarah Elizabeth Foster gets in touch with her emotions and just lets them flow like a river throughout Gardening From The Ground Up. It's truly an amazing accomplishment when you think that her career almost never got off the ground thanks to a polyp that threatened to take her voice. A story of perseverance in the making, Gardening From The Ground Up is a rich and passionate record that comes from the heart. From the dawning of, "Wake Up," to the closing notes of, "Lets Go Away," Gardening From The Ground Up hints at a star in the making that will enchant just about anyone who loves a vibrant beautiful voice.
