FOLK
Refuge Cove features nine tracks, two of which Cummings had already released as singles. These highlight Cummings’ stunning contralto and her prowess as a songwriter. In the first track on the album, “The Look You Gave,” the opening strums of the guitar give way to Cummings’ enormous voice as she sings about resignation to the moon and the coldness she feels from some unnamed figure.
While asking “If I had no strength to fly/ would you be the one to lift me high?” in the minute–long and delicately restrained “Just Like That,” she infuses each note with a sense of longing that somehow we all understand. Cummings writes in the world of the metaphorical, and there is a candidness in her lyrics, even if we do not fully understand the truth that is being told.
