Sophie's Staff pick "'The Kiss' is possibly my favourite song of all time. This 1973 folk album has joy and sadness (Sill had recently kicked her heroin addiction). With production reminiscent of The Carpenters, it's lush with stunning vocals. Always a joy to have on the turntable."
The second album Judee Sill made, proved to be her last. Instead of using an outside arranger for the strings for her album Heart Food, Sill did all of the work herself. Sill's music was complex, elegantly crafted and yet completely devoid of pretension or overwrought melodrama. Unfairly lumped in with other female, proto-adult contemporary songwriters like Joni Mitchell or Carole King, Sill was much closer in spirit to Brian Wilson, Nick Drake, or one of her idols, J.S. Bach. She had a gift for making very complicated things sound simple, beautiful.
