Olivia Broadfield is an English singer/songwriter who likes electronics over guitars. Nothing wrong with that if you do it the way she does on her debut album “Eyes Wide Open”.It was originally released in the UK in 2008 but has now been picked up by Vagrant for a Stateside release.
The songs on here would’ve fit right in on the soundtrack of Garden State… picture Frou Frou being fronted by Feist. Even though the music is mostly electronic, she succeeds wonderfully in making things sound warm and intimate making “Eyes Wide Open” the perfect soundtrack for the night. Especially take note of “Don’t Cry” and “Lost In You” which are my personal favorites.
Score: 7 out of 10
