The disaffected Cardiff schoolgirl; the teenage Las Vegas dancer; the singer in indie pop group The Pipettes. There was a turn in a Bollywood film, a nightclub tour, a stint cleaning floors in an East London pub. Long before she would become an acclaimed solo songwriter in both Welsh and Cornish, a winner of the Welsh Music Prize, a nominee for the Mercury, a Bard of the Cornish Gorsedh, there were the days of Nevada, London, Brighton; of Irish dancing, techno clubs, messiness and chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Utopia', Saunders’ fourth solo album, is an extraordinary exploration of all of these selves. If the singer regards her first three solo records — 2014’s Y Dydd Olaf, 2018’s Le Kov and 2022’s Tresor as “childhood records”, rooted in her upbringing, her parents, her formative identity, then Utopia captures a time of self-determination and experimentation. These are songs of discovery, of the years between being someone’s daughter and becoming someone’s wife and someone’s mother. They range from floor- fillers to piano ballads, via contributions from Cate Le Bon and H.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHawkline, and encompass William Blake, a favourite Edrica Huws poem, and the Number 73 bus. It is her finest work to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assai Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55284595982719,"sku":"HVNLP234C","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1565\/5653\/files\/8a2c947d-b684-4e5f-9e6a-37c9edfa1615.jpg?v=1743792217","url":"https:\/\/assai.co.uk\/products\/gwenno-utopia-vinyl-lp-pink-colour-due-out-11-07-25","provider":"Assai Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
