Blue on Blue (CD - 2006)

On her 2006 solo debut, ex-Sixpence None the Richer singer Leigh Nash presents a set of songs that recalls the light alternative-pop of her former band, but also opts for a fuller sound that plays wonderfully off her reedy voice. This aesthetic change is largely due to the presence of producer Pierre Marchand, who is renowned for his work with Sarah McLachlan, and brings a similarly atmospheric feel to Nash's tunes (see the dreamy "Along the Wall"). While fans of Sixpence will likely be pleased by this confident, meticulously crafted album, the appeal of Nash's BLUE ON BLUE admirably extends beyond the palette of that revered act.
