Evolution

With ‘Evolution’ it feels like this has been an album she has been itching to make and she has done so with wisdom, purpose and candour. Truly compelling, her artistry and perspective will make us all open our eyes a little bit wider whilst continuing to hanker after the beautiful human experience.

It’s hard to see Evolution as anything less than a gift – something positive put out into the world. Sheryl Crow is just what the doctor ordered.

It’s a striking return to form, proving the nine-time Grammy-winner and recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee has lots more to say.

Three decades into her career, Sheryl Crow is arguably a genre unto herself. Her new album sometimes makes her singular appeal feel generic.

Some good singles, as always, but unfortunately a long way from career highlights Sheryl Crow and The Globe Sessions.

There’s nothing essentially wrong with Evolution, but it just sounds like it’s mostly been written on auto-pilot.

The American superstar’s catchy, radio-friendly songs have won her nine Grammys, but this latest offering has nothing new to say.

Evolution is somewhat predictably a soundtrack of life-affirming but slightly knocked-about beige wisdom wearing a pair of cowgal boots.
