| | Sounds Like | "Accompanied by piano and bass, or occasionally playing guitar alone, she delivered a set of songs drawn from sources as diverse as Welsh hymnody and Bob Dylan as well as her own compositions. This is the sort of gig that couldn't have happened at pre-Cheltenham Greenbelt, with the delicacy and clarity of the performance needing a proper concert hall rather than a tent. Most of the songs were sung in Welsh, and in one of the English songs she drew a tongue-in-cheek portrait of the record executives' assessment of her music - "The language that you sing/It won't bring in the bling" - but this didn't seem to put off the audience even at an English festival. Stylistically, Lleuwen's performance ranged from classically-tinged hymnody, gentle blues and jazz and with one up-tempo jazz number given added rhythm by a guesting beatboxer. With the right backing, Lleuwen could be a star in the same mould as Eva Cassidy or even another Greenbelt discovery, Corinne Bailey Rae. But I have to say that the record executives are probably right about the language barrier." GREENBELT : THE MUSIC REVIEWS
