Honeymoon
Self-Released, 2023
8/10
The Minneapolis singer-songwriter Brynn Andre returns with a mature set of pop songs that face life after your 20s, where intimacy and energy are balanced amid her gorgeous singing.
The title track starts the listen with a warm atmosphere that uses synthetic drumming alongside the expressive singing of the cautious climate, and “Celebrity” follows with a stirring dreaminess that showcases Andre’s eloquent storytelling and graceful keys.
Halfway through, the emotive “Fertile Ground” is full of pretty textures that are soulful, while “Canyon Heart” floats with a cinematic appeal of calm pop ideas amid the soft drums and cozy piano.
Approaching the end, “Strawberry Wine” offers a bare but impactful landscape that explores Andre’s impressive range, and “Even Love” exits with a lush and powerful display of timeless, relevant songwriting.
Andre’s debut was way back in 2010, and this outing illustrates a maturing woman with a wealth of talent and stunning voice that will make anyone a fan pretty quick.
Travels well with: Sarah Morris- Here’s To You; Kelley Smith- Moon Child
