Chris & Gileah by Chris & Gileah - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

After establishing themselves as solo artists, singer/songwriters Chris and Gileah Taylor come together for a project that seamlessly blends their individual strengths. Like The Civil Wars, The Swell Season, and other similar male/female duos, this Florida-based married couple delve into the challenges of staying together with the full knowledge of love’s high cost. The Taylors’ music captures the sort of spiritual longing found on early albums by The Innocence Mission and Sixpence None the Richer, indirectly touching on faith without overt sermonizing. Chris’ high tenor and Gileah’s airy, ache-inflected soprano have similar textures that add to the album’s unified sound. The songs here match thoughtful, melancholy-tinged lyrics to melodies of nuance and sophistication. The surface delicacy of tunes like “The Gathered Storm,” “A Seaboard Song," and “Miracles” is underpinned with insistent rhythms hinting at Latin and Celtic influences. Catchy folk-pop tracks like “Map in My Heart” and “Curious” balance more contemplative numbers like “As Seasons Go On” and “Love on This Island.” “Stay Love” sums up the bruised idealism of the album’s lyrics.
