    In the Shadow Kingdom, the smooth seduction of I’ll Be Your Baby Tonight comes out downright lusty, while the jinking melody of It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue ebbs and flows here, seemingly dragged by swollen waves of sound. Some lyrics are subtly changed, others are turned on their head – the devotional To Be Alone With You transformed into something dangerous and desperate (“What happened to me darling, what was it you saw, did I kill somebody, did I escape the law?”).

    The result is surprising and singular, revealing new twists in songs that seemed to be set in stone decades ago.

    As a whole, Shadow Kingdom might not be a revelation, but it’s an interesting experiment with plenty of solid results.
