}}First Songs, initially credited to "Gwyn and Will",[2] is the debut album of British singer-songwriter Gwyneth Herbert and composer and acoustic guitarist Will Rutter.[3] Comprising both original songs and standards, it was launched at London's Pizza Express Jazz Club in September 2003.[2] The Herbert/Rutter song "Sweet Insomnia" featured guest vocals from Jamie Cullum.[3]

Reception

Described by BBC Music as a "lovingly crafted debut",[4] the album received a significant amount of radio airplay on Jazz FM and BBC Radio 2, and was promoted by Michael Parkinson.[3][5]

Writing in The Sunday Times, reviewer Clive Davis said: "If Gwyneth Herbert is not a star before long, I will eat my CD player. The sultry young singer’s partnership with guitarist Will Rutter has caused a stir on London's club circuit, and their debut album — artfully produced and arranged by vocalist Ian Shaw — lives up to that promise, blending pop and jazz values".[6]
