Album of the Week – Clementine Lovell ‘Permutations’
Written by celtic music radio on July 18, 2026
On her debut album Permutations Clementine Lovell offers the folk tradition treated as a living and breathing thing.
The release is a striking re-imagining of traditional folk songs with a collection of old ballads taking on a new life.
