This latest release on the Retro Fresh label is this essential collection of the very best songs by Lesley Rae Dowling, whose sexy, low growl of a voice and sure hand with a tune and lyric first amazed Tully McCully, then Benjy Mudie, and eventually, a gob-smacked 80s SA music scene. Over the next decade Lesley Rae Dowling blossomed into SAs top pop diva and was never too far from the charts and awards ceremonies with her seemingly endless supply of strong and tuneful compositions.
The best 16 tracks are all here, with short explanations on each song by Ms Dowling herself. These comments add an extra dimension to Dave Chisletts excellent liner notes and the songs themselves. From The Spaniard, Grips Of Emotion, and Innocent Child to Unravished Brides, The Rose, and You And I, Conspirare tells the story of this supremely talented SA singer songwriter who could have been a contender on the international pop scene but decided to turn away from the dislocation that her planned exile from the very unpopular SA of the 80s would have caused. Now happily settled on a farm in the Helderberg Mountains above Stellenbosch, Lesley Rae Dowling can drop Conspirare on to her own CD player and listen through this very worthy body of work with great pride and maximum enjoyment, and so should you.
