Nancy Elizabeth – I Used To Try

• 3rd Oct 2007

Lancashire born and bred Nancy Elizabeth new single, her second, precedes the release of her debut album.

The slow haunting stabbing tune that could easily pass you by some how resonates, carrying a multi cultural sound that seems to fuse essences of Indian and Irish instrumentation and arrangements weaving beneath a voice that might not be to everyone’s tastes, landing somewhere between Enya and Dido, in just the three and a half minutes that I Used To Try plays for I find my opinion fluctuating, there is no doubt that Nancy Elizabeth possesses a unique voice but I can’t quite bring myself to a whole hearted decision on my opinion of this song.
