I just had the opportunity to review the most recent release, Lush, by Lauren Glick and it's a smooth mix of blues and rock. Opening with ballad, Don't Add Up, Lauren Glick on vocal, bass and keys, blows open the doors on this release with vocal power. Her voice is solid and the melody is very radio oriented. With tight backing by Scott Malaby on guitar, Bobby Malaby on drums and Matt Vangasbeck on keys, this is a solid opener. Soulful, Love and Peace, is pure melody with Glick up front and center on vocal with only enough instrumentation to back a solid radio track. Her voice is gritty enough to make it stand out yet, smooth enough to appeal to a broad audience. With a lot of punch, Poor Boy, has a cool back beat and warmed up by Vangasbeck's organ work, one of my favorites on the release. Glick's vocals really work well on this track and Malaby's guitar accents really add nicely to the mix. Wrapping the release is Perfectly Capable, with it's bluesy gut grinding soul feel and Glick really works it. Malaby's guitar shore up the melody and vocal backing work really nicely with Glick's lead making hits a strong closer.
