Lucinda Belle
Think Big, Like Me
Review by Gary Hill
Parts of this disc are likely to convince you that this is an old album. That's because so much of the music here is set in the jazz of the 20s and 30s. There are some modern elements at times, but the retro stylings are ever-present. This is quite an effective set and a nice counter-point to a lot of the over-produced pop music of the present. It really does call to mind an earlier era. It should be noted that I previously reviewed the opening track as a digital single. For the sake of consistency, I've used that track review here.
This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) in Music Street Journal: 2019 Volume 4. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2019.
