Linda Saslove
Everything
Although she’s a veteran performer on the Toronto music
scene, singer-songwriter Linda Saslove
grew up in Ottawa and gave some of her early performances at Le Hibou, a
legendary Ottawa music venue of the 1960s and ‘70s. With Everything, Linda offers 10 well-crafted songs and well-produced
songs – mostly in an acoustic folk-pop vein and mostly dealing with various
themes of love or lost love.
Linda establishes the themes for the album on the first
two tracks: “My True Love,” a love song expressing commitment, and a breakup
song, “The Last Goodbye,” that details the conflicting emotions one goes
through as a relationship comes apart.
Perhaps the most interesting song is the finale, “Different from
You,” a song that seeks to bridge the differences that keep people apart. While
most of the other songs are specifically about romantic love, “Different From
You” is open to interpretation and could be about any kind of differences
keeping people from understanding each other.
