Beggar’s
Choice is the new studio album from singer-songwriter
Charlotte Yates. Recorded in Wellington late 2007-early 2008
at Trident Sounds Studios and Charlotte’s own Semaphore Sound, Beggar’s
Choice showcases a fistful of new songs, bristling
with her trademark lyricism and soulful melodies. Charlotte worked with top rhythm section, Darren Mathiassen, drummer-in-demand, and the exquisitely tasteful Rob Winch on bass, to produce an organic, largely acoustic feel to the twelve new tracks, from the eerily sparse Given Up ( watch out for the video directed by Emma Robinson coming soon) to the wryly black Black Water. Elliotte Fuimaono guests on bass in the jauntily reggae-esque All Roads Lead to Rome, while Heaven Scent and Gifthorse swing the pendulum a little more rock side. Beggar’s Choice is Charlotte Yates’ fifth solo album. The new material concludes with the delicate title track, Beggar’s Choice, but the album ends with Mad, Yates’s contribution to the Tuwhare tribute album, released in 2005. Beggar’s Choice was mixed by Gil Eva Craig at Flying Saucer Audio and mastered by Mike Gibson at Trident Sound Studio. Beggar’s Choice is released by Jayrem Records.
