The
spirit of the sixties is alive
and well according to Aslyn and
her debut album Lemon Love.
Florida born Aslyn lays the
hooks on thick and fast in this
catchy 12 song collection,
co-produced by Guy Chambers (he
of Robbie Williams and World
Party fame), melodies are strong
and so are the lyrics and whilst
they might sometimes dwell on
the familiar love-angst theme
they do draw you in.
Opener
Just Enough sets out the agenda
of the album pretty well,
electric guitar reasonably
prominent and straight in with a
catchy chorus, whilst single Be
The Girl, about the
superficiality of much modern
day romance, has a more
straightforward pop/r and b
edge.Very singalongable Lemon
Love makes you think of sunny
days and driving to the beach,
its that kind of album.
There are echoes of
everyone here from The Beatles to girl singers such as Michelle Branch and
Missy Higgins, but Aslyn carries the day on her own. This
is quite a sparkling debut and easily marks Aslyn down as one to watch out
for.
