CrossCut Records CCD12006.Where do they all come from? Is there some secret, Harry Potter-type academy in a deep hidden mountain range where young women are granted the gift of musical genius, beauty and stagecraft? They keep coming - Norah Jones, Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse… and now Claudia Bettinaglio. ...Recorded in Switzerland, 'Sometimes' is a collection of 13 tracks mostly written or co-written by Claudia backed by some amazingly good musicians. Is this a blues album? Not exactly - but it has a depth and a lyrical content which will take you into a blues frame of mind. The lyrics are superb; This is a record where you really do listen to the words - and everyone can relate to a song like 'Relationshit' (No, that's not a spelling error). So keep your eyes and ears open for Ms. Bettinaglio. Music like this increases the entry level for new talent. Claudia could well soon be a big name around the world, if there's any justice. And as I've already blown it once by exposing my age, I might as well say it - she looks just as good as she sounds…….Roy Bainton
