Album Review: Rachael Yamagata "Chesapeake"

Wish I could write a proper review but I'm not a journalist, just extremely passionate about music.
I'm only going to state this is truly a brilliant album. Long awaited for me ever since I started listening to this fantastic and versatile artist after "Elephants... Teeth Sinking into Heart".

Rachael said she wanted to make more light-hearted music, but she would keep the dark ballads as well. And "Chesapeake" has a nice balance of both.
Fast paced "Even if I Don’t" and "Starlight" kick it off, leading to the gorgeous song "Sunday Afternoon", which really makes you want to take a walk outside under the spring sun.

However, the best tracks are definitely the piano ballads, the ones that go closer to her sound, that rasping husky voice, with heartwrenching lyrics.

Because, as harsh as it sounds, and quoting Janis Joplin, "Audiences like their blues singers to be miserable." She's an artist that's able to pour her soul into music and you can feel it. With "You Won't Let Me", "Miles on a Car" and "Full On" she does exactly that.

Stick Around is a jazzy delight with a fantastic bass line. And definitely one of my favourites. The biographical "The Way it Seems to Go" has a great Fiona Apple-esque sound, a combination of great lyrics and catchy music that makes you hit the repeat button over and over. "I Don't Want to be Your Mother" was a huge surprise, after that title you would expect something completely different than a piano and strings melody.

And the epic Dealbreaker brings a perfect closure to this album. A poignant, touching ballad that is just that... epic.
