The collection opens with the soothing “Next To You,” which displays their velvet harmonies, and it is followed by the mid-tempo and hypnotic title track, “Nightfall,” which has a retro vibe to it, as well as the stirring ballad “Forever and a Night,” where Phillip Sweet displays his rumbling voice.
It is followed by “Throw Your Love Away,” where Kimberley Schlapman sings lead vocals, and the catchy yet relatable “Over Drinking,” which has an uplifting vibe to it. “Wine, Beer, Whiskey” is more nonchalant and it continues with the glorious “Questions.”
Their Grammy-nominated “The Daughters” is inspirational, and an ode to female empowerment, while “River of Stars” is exquisite from start to finish. “Sugar Coat” showcases Karen Fairchild’s honey-rich vocals.
After the stunning piano-laden “Problem Child,” sung by Jimi Westbrook, it closes with the crisp and refreshing “Bluebird” and with the atmospheric ballad “Trouble With Forever.”
Nightfall is available on Amazon Music, Spotify and on Apple Music.
