With Scottish origins and a base of operation in the Welsh capital Cardiff, Sandi Thom is a singer-songwriter juggernaut whose popularity she has used most appropriately singing out for whom she believes to be oppressed and in need of a voice. On her latest release, ‘Revolution Anthem’ comes rich with pounding blues beats and riffs infused with folkish acoustics and a whole lot of Thom’s unmistakable vocal charisma.

The bluesy riffs are all familiar and easy to love, and the warmth of the production makes for a silky smooth listen that is only heightened by Sandi Thom’s thoughtful words, pulling references from the French Revolution, and her subdued but present delivery, presented in her usual mastery.

RCA/Sony signed Sandi Thom has a readily massive podium to spread her voice and views to an equally massive fanbase, and she endearingly uses her single ‘Revolution Anthem (Festival of the Oppressed)’ to call out a few rotten political names as well as encourage minorities to not stand up for oppression and to not swallow being lied to, in the process creating a charming piece of folk rock with bluesy leanings that is just a joy to listen to.
