Howdy once extra blogosphere! It has come to my attention that awesome actress Lucy Hale (Aria from the legend ‘Elegant Diminutive Liars’) has finally taken to the charts and launched her first album entitled ‘Motorway Between’. To stutter I’m aroused would possibly presumably presumably be an valid understatement. Whenever you are an avid PLL fan admire I’m, then you definately would possibly presumably merely keep in mind Aria singing a runt excerpt from a tune manner wait on in season 1 episode 9. For certain, being the tune fanatic that I’m, I suddenly latched onto this little clip and began incessantly googling omit Hale. Turns out, wait on in the day, Lucy changed into once in a existing which changed into once essentially a sinful between a children model of ‘American Idol‘ and ‘Younger Potential Time‘, entitled ‘American Juniors‘ (which I would possibly presumably merely or would possibly presumably merely no longer absorb youtubed in my spare time). So clearly, when I chanced on out she changed into once releasing an album, I started geeking out in every single keep. Now, the time has come and my album evaluate is in. Did Lucy’s country album are residing up to my expectations? You would possibly presumably right must proceed reading.

7. Motorway Between

Quit tuned for my discover by discover lumber down of every of the songs.

1. You Sound Correct To Me

Fortunately, we all bought of project to rep accustomed to this one previous to the official liberate of the album, seeing as it is been readily in the market on iTunes as a single since January. As a long way as country goes, I’d no longer essentially call myself the greatest fan, nonetheless there is no denying that here’s an sizable tune. It be right huge catchy, and Lucy manages to capture the essence of the country vogue without feeling the resolve on to adopt a particular person-made twang (which I truly gain as a rule to be extremely irritating). It be enjoyable, it suits her instruct successfully, and most importantly, it sounds ultimate to me (behold what I did there?). General, I’d mark this discover a huge success.

2. From the Backseat

For the second discover, Lucy made up our minds to gradual it down rather with this county ballad. I essentially must command, I’m most positively partial to this one. No longer simplest is the tune itself awesome, nonetheless it manages to account for a legend at some stage in (and no longer in a cheesy Taylor Swift manner). The tone is nostalgic nearly, and I gain that this register sits with Lucy’s instruct if reality be told successfully. And luckily, as with the first tune, I chanced on that there weren’t any overwhelmingly cliché country prospers, which is in most cases a determined.

3. Nervous Women

This is able to presumably presumably be one of my popular songs on the album, purely attributable to the awesomeness of the melody. By now, a few of you most definitely know that one of my pet peeves is irritating, monotone tune, which we sadly seem like compelled to hear to in abundance circa 2014, nonetheless this tune is nothing of the kind. It be such a moderately ballad, and demonstrates that despite Lucy’s PLL precipitated reputation, she hasn’t change into estranged from her normality. As I command, it if reality be told is a big huge tune, so I counsel you all rep to downloading it suddenly. In the phrases of Raven . . .



4. Red Dress feat. Joe Nichols

Who would now not luxuriate in an honest country duet that would now not involve T-Swizzle? I do know I construct, that is clearly in the event that all of them sound admire this. No subject this being Lucy’s album, Joe rather grand takes the lead with this discover, and even supposing I’ve by no blueprint heard of him, he if reality be told does a marvellous job. It sounds as if, after some intensive googling, it appears that evidently this man’s essentially a famous country singer, and I’m able to behold why. He has rather of twang happening, nonetheless it would now not feel compelled or unnatural. And even supposing it had some romantic system by manner of lyricism, it wasn’t awkwardly lovey-dovey at any point (so theres no resolve on to whip out your turtles). Their voices furthermore luckily went collectively if reality be told smartly, which is in most cases a necessity by manner of duets. As a entire, here’s one ultimate quality tune. 

5. Goodbye Long gone

In my behold, this tune is loyal pure awesomeness. It had a darker tone than the leisure of the tune, and took on a vengeful theme. What would possibly presumably presumably be larger than an angsty tune that sounds as if it is mash-up between the works of Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson? Critically though, I essentially loved this discover. I essentially must command, I dangle now we absorb bought one other contender for my popular tune on the album. If any of you are shut deepest friends of Taylor Swift, please call her up honest now and let her know that here’s how you honest a tune about an ex. I by no blueprint idea I would possibly presumably expend a One Direction gif to sing anything else ever, nonetheless I essentially don’t absorb any preference with this one. 

6. Kiss Me

You would possibly presumably be able to’t absorb a lawful country album and not using a discover fully revolving around relationship perils, and for ‘Motorway Between’, here’s it. This tune takes on rather extra of a pop feel, which changed into once nice in remark to shake things up rather. It be right your quintessential, lovelorn ballad performed successfully. It will merely no longer be my popular tune on the album, nonetheless that would now not mean it is a long way now not always ultimate. For these of you who’re into tune admire that, this would possibly presumably presumably right be your dream come correct. 

7. Motorway Between

The title discover of the album, I’m able to account for you now, would now not disappoint. It be moderately neutral like ‘Nervous Women’ in a couple of how, as its if reality be told rather melody is the predominant location off of my fondness of it. Out of the total songs on the album, I dangle that here’s one of many tracks that most productive showcases Lucy’s instruct. Whenever you are partial to the skill ballad (which let’s face it, who is now not always?), then here’s a huge decide for you. It furthermore occurs to absorb a magnificent message of empowerment, that can simplest be uplifting. General, a extremely powerful discover. 

8. Lie a Diminutive Greater

This tune is most positively my jam. From the title, you would dangle that it can presumably presumably sound huge down and unfortunate, nonetheless here’s no longer the case by any stretch of the creativeness. It be enjoyable, it is upbeat, and will even be described as boppy. Correct listening to this tune induces pleasure, and it is absolutely one of essentially the most involving tracks to hear to on the album. No subject its optimistic manner, the tune is if reality be told telling the legend of failed attempts at luxuriate in, who would’ve idea? And given the title, presumably it is a runt nod to Elegant Diminutive Liars? One can dream.

9. That’s What I Name Crazy

Presumably essentially the most prankish discover on the album, this tune delves into issues of ingesting and cursing – even supposing clearly, here’s all fully performed in a harmless manner. Co-written by Kacey Musgraves, here’s most definitely essentially the most mainstream country tune on the album. Is that a inappropriate thing? Fortunately it is a long way now not always, because as always, Lucy places her non-public ride on it. It be catchy, it is a long way simple to roar along to, would now not that sound admire the recipe for a ideal, radio-great single? I dangle certain. 

10. Esteem Tonight

The principle thing I realized about this tune changed into once its awesome beat. Critically, I would possibly presumably presumably be focussing too grand on the inappropriate details, nonetheless the beat using the tune on the starting right bought me so aroused, that I couldn’t assist nonetheless luxuriate in the leisure. While a quantity of tracks on the album have a tendency to revolve around romance, this one appropriates that notion, picking to focus in on some il-suggested choices by manner of luxuriate in. The discover seems to ride enjoyable at primitive romanticised country ballads, acting as an fun single to wind down the album. Plus, it right so occurs to be huge catchy and huge to hear to.

11.  Correct One other Song 

Formally the ideal discover on the album, this discover is without doubt one of many top songs ‘Motorway Between’ has to present. Co-written by Leave out Hale herself, what begins as a rather primitive, guitar pushed folks tune reaches a entire varied level once some crude orchestration gets going. It be bought a huge rather melody, and is a ideal instance of a magnificent, awesome ballad. The discover is without misfortune a fanciful album-nearer and holds its non-public on this awesome line-up of songs, proving that it is no longer right one other tune (rep it?). 

So as that is officially the cease of my runt album evaluate. Assemble I indicate you bear this tune on iTunes ASAP? Absolutely. How else would possibly presumably I sum up this album you demand? I dangle this gif rather grand says it all. 

I’m conscious that I’ve Taylor Swift bashed loads on this publish, nonetheless she’s right so unpleasant I couldn’t withstand. But right neglect about untalented, irritating, whiney, faux-country artists admire her and give attention to the awesomeness of this album (which I highly counsel you rep honest away). Now stride rep downloading! Til’ next time . . .
