Merritt Gibson
Eyes on Us
Review by Gary Hill
I've seen Merritt Gibson described as an "indie artist." That's really a non-descriptive term, though. I'd consider her to be more along the lines of mainstream pop rock music. There is a decent range of sound here. Nothing is offensive or really misses. There are some pieces that really stand tall. Overall this could probably be accused of lacking originality, but Gibson's voice manages to bring a genuine talent to the table to make up for it. If you like edgy music that shies away from the mainstream, you'll want to go elsewhere. However, if you enjoy the more pop oriented, female singer type stuff, you will probably enjoy this. It's quite well performed and effective.
