The borrowings outside of the folky singer songwriter sound are gently done and made his own, whether it’s the hint of a ska backbeat on the title track, the harmonic elements from Southern Africa throughout or the more unexpected tabla/sitar to be found on ‘Dreams of Believers’.

Nibs van der Spuy may be a new name to many outside of Africa but this is in fact his third album and shows the influence of time spent touring and recording with Mozambique’s Gito Baloi, who contributes a bonus track to the CD.

This is an album of gentle lyrical honesty, musical imagination tempered by restraint and powerful imagery. If singer songwriter is your thing, let your Beautiful Feet do the walking and enjoy something a little different.

Nibs van der Spuy — Beautiful Feet will be released 6 November on Sheer Sound (SSCD 506)
