Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds
The opening track, “Trouble” is a fun song. Her voice reminded me of Chris Isaak…a female version.
Title track, “Rivers + Roads” is a nice rock ballad.
“Looking for Wisdom” borders on Country.
“Driving Alone” has a bluesy country feel as well, with a bit of twang.
So you can see there is a variety here, though I’d say her genre is rock. Rock with a classic twist and a little rock-a-billy edge to it too.
She has a very deep and soulful voice. It’s pretty impressive this is coming out of a woman of only 20.
If you like strong vocals and are looking for something out of the ordinary you should try Rivers + Roads.
