Review by Le Hoang Phuong Vy

Album Review: Cara Dillon’s Black Is The Colour If you’re into music that feels like a warm hug on a cold day, Cara Dillon’s Black Is The Colour is the album for you. Released back in 2001 under Rough Trade, this gem blends folk, world, country, and even a splash of pop. It’s got this timeless vibe—like it could’ve been made yesterday or 50 years ago. And trust me, once you press play, it’ll stick with you. One track that really stands out is “Blue Mountain River.” It’s one of those songs where you can almost picture the scene it’s singing about. Cara’s voice is so pure and effortless—it’s like she’s sitting right there in your living room telling you a story. The melody has this gentle flow to it, kind of like watching clouds drift by. You don’t need fancy tricks when the emotion hits just right, ya know? Then there’s the title track, “Black Is The Colour.” This one is hauntingly beautiful. I mean, seriously, if this song doesn’t give you goosebumps, are you even listening? The way she stretches out certain notes makes it feel raw and real. There’s no overproduction here, just honest-to-goodness artistry. Plus, the lyrics have this old-school charm that reminds me of something my grandma might’ve hummed while baking bread (in a good way!). What’s wild about this album is how simple yet powerful it feels. In a world full of auto-tune and flashy beats, Cara lets her voice do all the talking—and man, does it speak volumes. Listening to these tracks feels like stepping into another time and place, but not in a cheesy way. More like… oh, I dunno, finding an old photograph and realizing how much life was packed into that single moment. Anyway, here’s the kicker—I didn’t expect to love this album as much as I do. When I first hit play, I thought, “Folk music? Really?” But now? Now I get it. Sometimes the simplest things leave the biggest mark. Who knew a record from 2001 could still feel so fresh today? Guess great music really doesn’t age. So go ahead, give Black Is The Colour a spin. Just don’t blame me if you end up playing it on repeat for days.
