Helen Ryder’s new album ‘Love Over Hate’ was co-produced with Aria Award winning musician Bruce Haymes (Paul Kelly, You Am I) and recorded by Roger Bergodaz (Lost Ragas, Tex Perkins) at Union Street Studio, Melbourne. The sessions featured Haymes on piano, Wurlitzer and organ, Shane Reilly (Lost Ragas, Emma Donovan) on guitars, pedal steel and string arrangements, Stephen Hadley (Tex Perkins) on bass, Bergodaz on drums and Katie Bates (Hannah Aldridge) and Stephen Grady (Songs Of The Canyon) on backing vocals.
A follow up to her lauded debut album Someday Love, this new LP, available on Limited Edition White Vinyl and CD is the album Helen has always longed to make.
“Lush adult pop that leans into its orchestrations, reverberates with a bluesy soul, and occasionally has a touch of the child-of-Laura Nyro.”
Bernard Zuel – bernardzuel.net
“Ryder has got her own thing going on. Her breathy vocal is a thing of beauty. This is an album to fall in love to.”
Jeff Jenkins – Rhythms Magazine
“Ryder blends elements of soul, pop, country, folk and roots, exploring stories of love, loss and compassion through her warm, expressive voice.”
Greg Phillips – Australian Musician.
