Real
Description
Real is one of those exciting records where you sense an
artist truly hitting their stride. Whether you’ve followed Lydia’s career
forever, or you’re new to her game, Real is gonna grab your ears. On her first
two Bloodshot full-length releases, there were fevered comparisons to
acknowledged music icons like Loretta Lynn, Stevie Nicks, and the
Replacements… She’s half this, half that, one part something else. But now,
Real and Lydia Loveless are reference points all their own: Genre-agnostic,
Lydia and her road-tightened band stretch from soaring, singalong pop gems,
roots around the edges, to proto-punk. There are many sources, but the album
creates a sonic center all it’s own. Song to song, moment to moment, you might
find yourself thinking “that could be” this, or “there are moments of” that,
but you are quickly transported away to another moment, another thought,
another sound, another shot at honesty. Always a gifted songwriter, Lydia
gives the full and sometimes terrifying, sometimes ecstatic force to the word
“real.” Struggles between balance and outburst, infectious choruses fronting
emotional torment are sung with a sneer, a spit, or a tenderness and openness
that is both intensely personal and relatably universal. It is, as the title
suggests, real. Review Uncompromising and direct, Loveless is one of those
songwriting voices that seem destined to be sharing music with us for a long,
long time. –Paste Magazine Bittersweet lyrics and a bruised but indomitable
voice. She doesn t write conventional tunes; even her love songs arrive with a
twist. –Greg Kot Her defiant tone is matched by songs that put country and
punk on equal ground, unvarnished and direct. –Chicago Tribune
