The underlying theme being the movement of people, of emigration and the pursuit of love. It's a collection that speaks to Cara's fascination with songs of departure and the powerful desire to belong.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eEach of the album's ten tracks feature beautifully sparse piano and acoustic guitar arrangements by Sam Lakeman, who also produces. His experience and expertise were both key in making this album stand apart from Cara's previous. It's warm and intimate; the mood is stripped back and relaxed; the songs are beautiful and full of space with every moment thoroughly self-assured. Guest performances by Kris Drever, John Smith, Justin Adams, Niall Murphy and Ben Nicholls provide modest and expressive backing, helping to make this a sincere and understated work of art.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThroughout an enviable career which has seen her explore opportunities to tread many different paths \\u2013 from releasing folk crossover albums on indie label Rough Trade; working on Disney soundtracks to collaborations with leading UK dance DJ\/producers \\u2013 Cara has continuously chosen to firmly plant herself within the landscape of her cultural heritage and that's something to celebrate. With a more mature and reflective tone, Wanderer will no doubt transcend genres just as effortlessly as her highly successful albums Hill Of Thieves (2009) and A Thousand Hearts (2014) and increase her already impressive list of fans.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'What may well be the world's most beautiful female voice'\\xa0- MOJO\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'Loved every single album you've put out...sublime, heavily recommend to anyone.'\\xa0- Ed Sheeran\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'This woman's voice holds so many beautiful memories in my heart.'\\xa0- Sam Smith\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'Dillon's crystalline, angelic voice, an instrument of rare beauty capable of melting the sternest of hearts'\\xa0- BBC\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e'A Supernaturally beautiful voice.
