Kim Richey - Chinese Boxes

Kim Richey's 2007 album Chinese Boxes is her first collection of new music in five years, and was produced by Giles Martin and recorded in London. Martin's most recent project was The Beatles Love soundtrack, which he collaborated on with his father, Sir George Martin.

Chinese Boxes is a collection of 10 beautifully crafted soulful songs. The first single Jack and Jill gives the couple in the nursery rhyme a bit of a back-story - and the listener a hint of the discoveries to come. The title track tries to define a mysterious person before giving way to Drift, a poignant love song co-written with Mindy Smith. The Absence of Your Company showcases Richey's vocal vulnerability in a sparse instrumental setting while the cautionary Another Day highlights Kim's stunning sense of melody.

Fans and critics alike have long awaited new music from the critically appraised singer-songwriter.
