Album Review: Ann Vriend - For The People In The Mean Time

Similar to Duffy or even Amy Winehouse, this Canadian songstress takes the nostalgia of the ‘60s and turns it on its head, making it soulful, contemporary and sexy again.

The production is unique and cleverly designed to support her pixie-like voice. Those Records is a beautiful track exploring an unsuccessful relationship. Other highlights include A Need So Wide, which takes soul music to a new level, and You Can Have Me, another production blitz. Vriend takes the small things in life and turns them around into a vintage set of emotions.
