Alanna Gurr has released her debut album. She has decided to self title it. This album is one that really shows off that solo, light, folky rock music. Her music has a small pub, coffee shop in the afternoon type of feel to it. The music is quite similar to artists like a St. Vincent or a Feist type, so if you like those artists, you could really like this album. She has done a pretty good job here. When looking at the recording quality of this album, the album sounds a little quiet and could use a bit more production to get the overall sound louder and clearer. The instrumentation on this album is pretty standard. This seems to be the case for many of the solo folk artists. Now onto the vocals any lyrics, the vocals on this album are done quite well. Alanna can certainly sing, and she shows it off with a light, airy vocals style that is perfect for the type of music she is going for. We think its a great job. Now with the lyrics, Alanna sings songs about family, getting married, love, not getting the one and more. These songs feel like that positive, happy and a bit girly subject matter. This is definitely not geared towards a male audience, but it work with what they are going for. Great job on the lyrics. If you are looking for a single to this album, there isn't one, so just pick a song and give it a listen to get the feel of the album. Alanna Gurr has made a debut album that shows just what direction she wants to go with her music, and what her target audience is. We feel she has done that quite well. Now whats left is to get out there and show as many people as possible your music. We look forward to what comes next. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think.
