Ben Folds - So There

Review by Ruth Singleton

This album has its dancing shoes straddling very different musical camps and somehow manages to bind them together with skill and personality»

Ben Folds takes a turn on his new album, 'So There'. He embraces strings and chamber music yet still maintains a passion for his love of pop. So There consists of eight chamber pop songs with the very talented yMusic Ensemble and a 21 minute piano concerto performed with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra. Ben Folds meeting and recording with yMusic became the bridge between the classically themed concerto and the contemporary chamber rock songs that live in harmony on So There. The combination is an inspired body of work on both small and grand scales.
