Our Take

She Makes War's latest album, "Brace For Impact," is a deliciously dark and daring offering that will have you bouncing off the walls. The brainchild of multi-instrumentalist and all-round powerhouse Laura Kidd, this album is a rollercoaster of emotions that leaves you both exhilarated and exhausted.

From the moment the opening track kicks in, you're hit with a wall of sound that's as thrilling as it is overwhelming. Kidd's vocals soar and whisper in equal measure, pulling you in and pushing you away in a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. The production is sleek and polished, with layers of guitars and synths building a luscious sonic landscape that envelops you like a warm hug.

Tracks like "Devastate Me" and "London Bites" showcase Kidd's knack for crafting catchy hooks that stick in your head like a stubborn earworm. And the anthemic chorus of "Fortify" will have you pumping your fist in the air like you're at a stadium rock show.

But this album is not all bombast and bravado. There are moments of vulnerability and introspection scattered throughout, like the haunting piano ballad "Contend" and the stripped-back acoustic beauty of "Undone". These moments serve as a stark reminder of Kidd's songwriting prowess and the emotional depth that underpins her music.

In conclusion, "Brace For Impact" is a tour de force from She Makes War. With its infectious melodies, bold production, and raw emotional intensity, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression. Brace yourself, because this is one impact you won't soon forget.
