Daily Express, 19th June LINN, the people who brought you The Blue Nile, have done it again. This time, they intend to show off the quality of their hi-tech audio products with probably the finest female voice to come out of Glasgow since Maggie Bell.
themusiccritic.co.uk, 29th June The debut album from this 21 yr old Scottish lass is one of the finest records we have came across this year. The heady mix of folk and pop is a refreshing change from the mass produced fodder that clogs up the charts. With Contributions from Deacon Blue's Ricky Ross and The Blue Nile's producer Calum Malcolm twiddling the knobs, this is a classy affair from start to finish.
Maeve O'Boyle - "All My Sins", live @ The Mill, 04/06/2009
Produced by Calum Malcolm (Blue Nile) and Stuart McCredie (The Fratelli's), "All My Sins", is the perfect introduction to an exciting new talent, and showcases Maeve's intrinsic ability to captivate through her lyrics and a distinctively, beautiful voice. Maeve first came to prominence in 2006 when invited to perform at Celtic Connections where she won a "Danny" on The Danny Kyle Stage for new acts. Later that year she won the Artist's category in the Daily Record National Talent Search.
The following months saw Maeve adding to her songbook, with the help of writers Gordon Goudie, Ricky Ross and Francis MacDonald. Writing and performing with Scotland's musical elite inspired Maeve and she carried this energy into acclaimed performances nationwide including dates with John Cale (Velvet Underground) and Sandi Thom on her sold out UK tour.
Captivating audiences up and down the country, Maeve soon gained a reputation for her natural ability to perform and to write songs for those who listen. Testament to her mounting status was an entry into The Scotsman "Scots Women of the Year" in 2007 and a recommendation by the Daily Record showbiz editors as "One to Watch".
In 2008, Maeve performed with her band in London and Glasgow as part of The JD Set showcase. She also headlined in a sell-out date at Glasgow's prestigious Oran Mor before accepting an invitation to perform at Live at Loch Lomond with Ocean Colour Scene and The Sex Pistols. Her growing reputation and versatile approach saw her perform acoustic sessions with such artists as Eleanor McEvoy (only a woman), Martyn Joseph, Boo Hewardine and The Mercurymen.
With an ever-growing book of songs and a solid performing background, "All My Sins" is just the beginning.
“When Maeve sang for me I thought she was fantastic. I could listen to her
Voice all day... She's up there with anyone." Ricky Ross (Deacon Blue, James
Blunt)
“...Poignant, touching, personal and meaningful...A very genuine performer”
Evening Times Celtic Connections
“Her raw energy just suck you in” John McLaughlin Speaking to The Daily Record.
“(her) ability to make music that connects and appeals to a very wide audience is what marks O'Boyle as more than just another female singer to add to the list.” stv.tv
