It's Siobhan Donaghy's birthday. Let's listen to 'Ghosts'

  • June 14, 2013
  • Popjustice

siobhan-donaghy-ghostsSiobhan Donaghy's 2007 album 'Ghosts' is one of the classics of the modern pop era. It got to Number 92 — well done everyone — but the songs are as striking in 2013 as they were six years ago.

'Ghosts' is an ambitious, intricate and elegant album that always seemed to exist in its own world, but the melodies draped across each track are fre­quently as big, infec­tious and expertly crafted as anything you'd find in the Top 10 in 2007, 2013 or any of the years in between.

Nobody ever really needs an excuse to listen to an album as incred­ible as this but if you're looking for one today it's Siobhan's birthday.

You can listen to the whole album in the Spotify playlist below; we've put 'Medevac' at the start because it's the best song on the album and that's how track­lists should work, right?

Right.

What an album.
