Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

It may not happen often, but sometimes you come across an album that once you have heard it you realise what an honour, a rare privilege, it was to have taken the C.D. out of the plastic cage and set it free to sing and flourish.

Out of the Black by the sensational Tiki Black may have been released in 2013 but when you find an album of such pure quality which contains a voice which seems to get more beautiful the more you let the C.D. play along its merry way and the haunting performance of the collection of musicians that contribute to such a stirring debut.
