Review: Nathan Carter – The Morning After

Nathan Carter needs no introduction, he has cemented himself as one of the most successful artists in Ireland. He has recorded six number one albums and has had a top 20 UK album release with the CD `Beautiful Life’. This latest release, ‘The Morning After’ went straight to Number One in the Irish Album Charts. The title track, which he self-penned is a gem, a toe-tappingly good upbeat tune with a catchy melody which uses a common turn of phrase for the hook line. It is clear that Carter has been honing the writing part of his artistry. There are two collaborations on this record, he teams up with up and coming Irish folk band Ceol for ‘Heave Away’ whilst Claudia Buckley joins him for ‘This Love Will Never End’. Carter and Buckley’s voices blend well together and they have a natural chemistry. The whole record is expertly arranged and produced. It is Carter at his very best, showing why he is one of Ireland’s best loved entertainers.
