Three years on from her debut album Diane Shaw returns with her follow up ‘Second Chance’ and the feel is similar to her previous offering with strong, retro styled soul underpinned with good songwriting and strong instrumentation. “Remember Me” has a Dee Edwards/Ruby Andrews feel in the vocals, the title track ‘Second Chance’ is a sublime crossover number that sounds like it was lifted straight out of the mid 70s, the mid tempo ‘Love Has No Right’ is a fantastic, infectious groove while the slower “All Or Nothing” is a delightful, laid back ballad. ‘The Day I Found Myself’ sounds primed for northern soul dancefloors with its skipping tempo, the catchy ‘Shall I Wait For You’ is a classy beat ballad while the bright rhythm of ‘(Come Back) Halfway’ has a late 60’s feel in the arrangements and again sounds like it would work on the Northern scene. A strong follow up that will appeal to many.
