For the most part, Gold is a return to the dance club fare that has become her calling card -- a slickly produced tour that pairs her powerful voice with synth beats
Kerrie Roberts' self-titled debut is a bright collection of soulful pop that reminds you of Natasha Bedingfield or Because of You-era Kelly Clarkson. With a powerful voice, the south Florida native offers insights into the thoughts, relationships, questions, and concerns of young adulthood.
Their sound on New Surrender isn't as much a diversion as it is a realization of their potential to finally seize the full emo spirit in all its glory, as if their high/low, intense-yet-laissez-faire approach to modern rock was simply warming up to this point, which is saying a lot given the quality of songs and the massive following they have carved out over the years.
Although there is less pounding rock than on its debut album, the group continues to explore sounds that make you want to shudder and tap along simultaneously.
