Mary Lambert "Heart on my Sleeve" Album Review

It isn't all that often that you come across artists like Mary Lambert. As an artist she isn't afraid to bend lyrical boundaries. If you're not sure what I mean, check out the first verse from her new hit single, Secrets:

"I've got bi-polar disorder
My shit's not in order
I'm overweight
I'm always late
I've got too many things to say
I rock mom jeans, cat earrings
Extrapolate my feelings
My family is dysfunctional
But we have a good time killing each other"



It's no wonder that you can't help but love her. We typically think of artists as having these seemingly perfect lives. We tend to forget that at the end of the day they're just like us and have struggles just as we do.

She also adds some 'spoken word' as in Dear One that is rather refreshing. While not the standard music that we are accustomed to, Mary has a way of making you enjoy every word that comes out of her mouth. Another song, stemming from "Same Love" portrays two people in a same-sex relationship. Something that is very prevalent in today's government.

Last but certainly not least, we have a cover song. Not just a cover song, but a cover of Rick Springfields "Jessie's Girl". While not a song that you would typically expect a woman to sing, she does a fantastic job. The song brings on a completely new feel when the gender rolls are reversed.

This is definitely an album that you will have to listen to for yourself. Whether you are a fan of Country, Rap or Pop, I believe you will be pleased with what you hear. Mary's new album is available for purchase on October 14th, 2014. The album may also be pre-ordered on the following sites:

iTunes
Amazon

Trains "Bulletproof Picasso" Album Review and Release Info

Have you heard? Well, of course you have! Train is releasing a new album on September 16th titled Bulletproof Picasso. I was given the opportunity to review the entire album before the release date for all of you. That's pretty exciting, right?!?

This will be Trains 7th studio album and let me tell ya, it's a winner. From the foot tapping "Cadillac, Cadillac", all the way down to the heartwarming "Don't Grow Up So Fast", you won't be disappointed! Then you have the title track "Bulletproof Picasso" that tells the story of person who just wants to go with the flow, be real and be honest. "Just say what you mean, and mean what you say to me." You know... be spontaneous, "We don't need a reason".

You can already check out a song and video from the new album. "Angel In Blue Jeans" is the first radio single from the upcoming "Bulletproof Picasso" album. I'll let you listen/watch for yourself and form an opinion.



Train will be performing LIVE on QVC on September 5th at 5pm ET. You don't want to miss it!
You can also pre-order "Bulletproof Picasso" right now at the following links:
iTunes
Amazon

All in all, "Bulletproof Picasso" is a true work of art. Literally. The main theme of the album is something that we can all relate to. Love.
No, not every track is a 'Love Song' per say. Some are more of a love gone wrong or tender love type of song. You'll find the perfect soundtrack for any mood!
