In 2021,Hugh Slicing achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the first countertenor to receive the esteemed Kathleen ferrier Award. Since this groundbreaking achievement, he has earned widespread recognition for his remarkable vocal richness, fluid musical phrasing, and creative theatrical expression. His debut recital album continues this trajectory but takes a different approach from the customary selections of Handel arias or Dowland lute songs. Entitled *Refound*, this compilation of art songs revolves around the concept of transformation; its varied and even unconventional choices remain thoroughly enjoyable.
