Review

Quirky and perky, Sara Hickman cooks up a stew with so many ingredients that it threatens to boil over. The title track itself offers thoughtful lyrics, a danceable rhythm, odd melodic turns, and even a funky piano break. Catchy pop hooks accompany tinges of country-rock crunch, delicate acoustic guitars, and synthesized, horn-blaring marches. Vocally, Hickman can produce high-pitched squeals as easily as throaty moans. Producer Adrian Belew, an eclectic sort himself, tries to hold it all together as Hickman intelligently discusses hope and depression, and the intricacies of human relationships. The fact that Hickman can't choose between blind optimism and unwarranted cynicism makes for a compelling lyrical theme. Unfortunately, she also can't seem to decide on a comfortable musical forum, working hard to create vivid moods before jerking you out of them. --Marc Greilsamer
