Music review: Echosmith – 无毛视频楲onely Generation无毛视频�
Echosmith无毛视频檚 无毛视频淟onely Generation无毛视频� is an intimate detailing of what it无毛视频檚 like navigating life in an age when social media and modern technology dominate the majority of our time. Instead of bringing us closer, screen time has replaced face-to-face time, leaving an entire generation more isolated and disconnected than ever.
无毛视频淲e无毛视频檙e the lonely generation/A pixelated version of ourselves/Empty conversations/I无毛视频檝e disconnected, now I无毛视频檓 by myself,无毛视频� declares lead singer Sydney Sierota on the title track that opens the California trio无毛视频檚 sophomore effort.
Sierota无毛视频檚 vocals add a vulnerable sophistication to the 12 tracks that demonstrate the band无毛视频檚 musical maturity since the 2013 debut release of 无毛视频淭alking Dreams.无毛视频�
无毛视频淪hut Up and Kiss Me无毛视频� sounds as if it came off a Taylor Swift album with its straightforward message about being direct about your feelings when you discover that special someone who captures your heart.
无毛视频淐racked无毛视频� is a passionate confessional that recognizes it无毛视频檚 okay to hurt, have flaws and be damaged as Sierota sings, 无毛视频淚 know that I may be cracked, but I let the light in/If you want the best of me, get to know the hurt I无毛视频檓 hiding.无毛视频� This track brings to mind 无毛视频淯nwell无毛视频� from Matchbox Twenty无毛视频檚 third album, 无毛视频淢ore Than You Think You Are.无毛视频� While we all carry some baggage and display scars, unconditional love can erase the loneliness and provide a sense of identity and purpose during difficult times.
无毛视频淓veryone Cries无毛视频� is a gorgeous piano ballad that features Noah Sierota joining his sister on a duet about being a comforter to the heartbroken and most vulnerable. Displaying hints of Alison Krauss, Sydney无毛视频檚 vocal performance on this number makes it the signature track of the album. Loneliness never sounded so beautiful.
Tracks like 无毛视频淒iamonds,无毛视频� 无毛视频淪tuck无毛视频� and 无毛视频淟ove You Better无毛视频� add an infectious spark to the coming-of-age set with delightful hints of synth-pop sleekness.
The album closes with a tender profession of love. 无毛视频淚 Don无毛视频檛 Wanna Lose My Love无毛视频� spotlights that moment when you discover the soulmate that completes your existence.
无毛视频淲e无毛视频檙e burning bright and it fills up the room,无毛视频� softly sings Sierota. The arrangement无毛视频檚 innocence is a refreshing reminder of how love can truly change the world.
Echosmith will perform at Cleveland无毛视频檚 Beachland Ballroom on Feb. 18.
