In an age of female rocker clones who’ve either idolized Avril Lavigne or Kelly Clarkson, it’s refreshing to find a singer/songwriter/guitarist who really plugs in with power, while putting her own introspective pen to paper.
Brooke Barrettsmith’s vast musical heritage shines throughout this debut. She is especially assertive, serving as an empowering example for young women and concurrently connecting with any guy searching for some female-fronted ferocity. All in all, it’s an exceptional album from an intelligent song sculptor. The album meets listeners from various walks of life, while also confirming some girls really can rock.
