Riff: Norma Fraser – “The First Cut is the Deepest”

Jan 29, 2015

I would have given you all of my heart/But there’s someone who’s torn it apart/And he’s taken almost all that I’ve got/And if you want I’ll try to love again

from The First Cut is the Deepest lyrics by Norma Fraser

A Cat Stevens‘ classic but with a reggae-infused makeover, one so rich with flavor and style it’ll have you coming back for seconds. The robust bass and sugary melodies give it a tenderness that is as sweet as a three scoop sundae with all the fixins. Heartache and anguish never sounded so bliss.
