Product Description
Album Description
2010 release from the Canadian singer/songwriter, her first new album in five years. A return to the accessible Pop-Rock sound of her acclaimed album You Were Here, but also showcasing a bit of her Folk/Country side, Oh Little Fire may be the strongest batch of songs Sarah Harmer has ever released. Co-produced by Sarah and Gavin Brown (Metric), Oh Little Fire is full of the same hooky melodies, insightful lyrics, and lovely, plaintive singing which attracted so many fans to Sarah Harmer's music. Featuring a duet with Neko Case! Rounder.

A Beautifully Written and Performed Album,
By Coyoteblue (Toronto) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oh Little Fire (Audio CD)
This is a great album. All of the songs are memorable, well produced and heartfelt. I bought Harmer's first album and The Mountain and could never get into either much, but O Little Fire is something else. Hard to figure how it might be improved, though if I had my way I might start the album differently. It feels a bit too much in the midst of things for my tastes. My wife says various songs sound like Feist, but I don't really see it. Recommended!

Wow....Oh Big Fire,
This review is from: Oh Little Fire (Audio CD)
Love Love Love this CD listening to it everyday it never tires. I didn't know much about Sarah Harmer but heard a tune on CBC and thought I would look into her. Now I own almost all her CD's and am loving them. Beautiful voice and great backup. I'll be putting her right beside Sarah Mc and Melissa Mc and Royal Wood. Great Canadians too listen too.

Endlessly Satisfying!,
By Mike Steeves "pathological_puppy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Oh Little Fire (Audio CD)
Endlessly Satisfying is exactly what I think of Sarah Harmer's new album, Oh Little Fire.Six years have passed since we've had a proper full-length studio album from her, and I thought the overly folksy sound that pervades I'm a Mountain (Dig) and Songs for Clem would strongly influence this follow-up, making it a little dull and marginalizing. NOPE! Oh Little Fire is a perfect blend of Rock, Pop and old-style Country in a way only Sarah Harmer seems to be able to do. These up-tempo, rocking tracks have snappy, catchy pop hooks and melodies from song to song. The melodies and Sarah's vocals are consistently excellent on each and every track. Even the slower songs and the country-infused 'Silverado' have these traits. Sarah's very quirky turn-of-phrase, her rustic, beautiful voice and the strange way she arranges her very Canadian sounding lyrics is something that's entirely unique. This Album Over-Delivers, which is amazing for someone so far along in her music career, considering many artists seem to peak early (and either remain good or become stale). Perhaps I like this album too much because I've become too used to all of my once-favorite artists letting me down with their new albums, but I don't think that's the case. This album is consistently good, from track to track. Do yourself a favor and give this album a try. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful

Sarah Harmer Delivers With Oh Little Fire,
By Philip R. Heath "Gadgets, Music, & Books" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oh Little Fire (Audio CD)
Sarah Harmer returns with her fourth CD Oh Little Fire, and as has been the case in the past relationships is a major theme through the majority of the songs. Some have lyrics that are opaque like the opener "The Thief" while others are more explicit such as "New Loneliness". The latter is an almost haunting sparsely instrumented acoustic tune that really goes well with the lyrics. Each verse starts with four lines that point a solitary picture with objects that could also be in pairs followed by four lines where an animal either does or sees something that underscores the loneliness of which Harmer sings. Her vocal delivery is spot on, and I've loved this song since the first time I heard it. One song that is different from the others is Harmer's duet with Neko Case "Silverado". The each take a verse solo and repeat the first verse in harmony. The pair sounds great together on this song about hopes and dreams gone awry. Overall, Oh Little Fire seems to combine bits and pieces from Harmer's previous CDs with great results. If you've liked her previous work, you should enjoy this one too.Download this: New Loneliness 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful

Fantastic,
By mattdaley - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Oh Little Fire (Audio CD)
How can there only be one review of this album so far??This is one of the best CD's I've listened to in a long time. As the reviewer below states, this is an amazing album from start to finish. It's incredibly strong. It has that strange, perfect mix of rock / pop / country that's extremely accessible and hugely enjoyable. The lyrics are strong. The music is stronger. This may sound weird, but it feels like a Canadian, Female version of Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever. It's that good. Don't pass this album up. |
