UK release date: 2 May 2005
Lucie Silvas - The Game Is Won

Lyrics that show wisdom beyond her years, a voice that is almost too good for the UK charts, song-writing talent and uniquely attractively looks. What more could we want? Well perhaps a song as incredible as What You're Made Of - an achievement The Game is Won does not quite match.

This new release is a vaguely McCartney-esque, quite stirring - perhaps over-instrumented - femme power-ballad, mostly carried by the lyrics and the voice.

But it's still a pleasure, and certainly calms an itchy remote-clicking thumb when the song comes on to MTV. However, I sense that the type of harmonies and melodies here are not quite what our Luce does most naturally - a few more subtly-penned broken relationship songs please!
