Beth HartLA blues pop-rocker Beth Hart's latest sees the singer largely let go of some of the jaunty genre bends she's thrown in on previous albums.
Jazz Man has the expected silky ivory tinkles and Love Is A Lie's pouts are sultry, old-skool highlights in the mix of more pop-rock tracks (Fat Man, Love Gangster, Let's Get Together). Her voice amazes, nonetheless, and it's kept au naturel for the most part - you can hear her slight pitch dips in No Place Like Home, which just sits perfectly with who she is and makes for another absorbing, accessible album for fans of big, well-trained vocals.
