Our Take

Emily Barker's latest offering, Sweet Kind of Blue, is like that unexpected hug from a stranger that just brightens your day. The Australian singer-songwriter brings a refreshing blend of Americana and soul to the table, creating a sound that is both familiar and unique.

From the opening track "Sweet Kind of Blue," Barker's silky vocals draw you in like a moth to a flame. The lush instrumentation, featuring twangy guitars and dreamy pedal steel, creates a warm and inviting atmosphere that is hard to resist. It's like being wrapped in a cozy blanket on a chilly evening.

Tracks like "Sister Goodbye" and "No. 5 Hurricane" showcase Barker's songwriting chops, with heartfelt lyrics that tug at the heartstrings. The stripped-back arrangements allow her voice to take center stage, carrying the listener on an emotional journey through love, loss, and everything in between.

But it's not all somber introspection - tracks like "Sunrise" and "Over My Shoulder" inject a dose of upbeat energy into the mix, with infectious hooks and foot-tapping rhythms that will have you dancing in your living room.

Overall, Sweet Kind of Blue is a delightful and soulful album that showcases Emily Barker's talent and versatility as a musician. It's the perfect soundtrack for lazy Sunday afternoons or late-night drives, so grab a glass of wine, sink into your favorite armchair, and let Barker serenade you with her sweet, sweet music. Just don't blame us if you end up in tears by the end - it's that good.
