England’s calling

Frances England’s enchanting new CD, “Blink of an Eye,” is a soft, sweet acoustic pop invitation to slow down and appreciate the joy of catching a glimpse of a firefly (in the title song) or the fleeting nature of childhood (“Little Wings”).

There will be confusing disappointments in life, so the singer-songwriter’s “Tell Me It All” is a reminder that there is someone who wants to lend a friendly ear and help that little person dust themselves off and try again. And they can start by joining in on the fun percussion of “Move Like Saturday Night.” Recommended for ages 5 to 12, “Blink of an Eye” is a quiet pleasure the family will spin again and again.
