Intensely introspective yet captivating, you’ll feel as if Singleton has invited you into her living room for an emotional thrill ride of a story. Not content to only chronicle the ups and downs of heartache, Singleton casts a refreshingly candid view on politics, materialism, and relationships. Never retreating behind slick over-production, she prefers to take an organic approach to this album, layering guitar-driven melodies with electrifying back-up vocals and plenty of keys, percussion, even backwards guitar.
“Don’t Tell Me,” a rousing anthem that channels Aretha Franklin and Janis Joplin, showcases Singleton’s sultry attention-getting pipes, while “Stop This Train,” an ode to the heartbreak of growing apart, finds Singleton’s lyrically aching vocals offset by her moving and intelligent songwriting - appealing to fans of Dusty Springfield and Joni Mitchell. Singleton tackles the tangled weave of politics on “Wake Up”, with its trippy rock edge, and jazz-affected timing that underscore her blues roots. Catchy melodies and dynamic lyrics echo 70's classic period Stevie Wonder with nods to the Beatles, giving her music a timeless feel -- while Singleton’s unforgettable voice, at once powerful, earthy and conversational, expertly combines a bluesy raw edge with a unique delivery, establishing her as an artist for a whole new generation.
