Album Review: Hannah Georgas - For Evelyn

StarStarStar

"The fear and angst in her lyrics is offset by the power of such brutal self-reflection."

More Hannah Georgas Hannah Georgas Profile

In For Evelyn, Hannah Georgas has hit the midpoint between her tough chick attitude from The Beat Stuff EP and the melancholic fragility of her self-titled album.

The fear and angst in her lyrics is offset by the power of the brutal self-reflection that shines brightest on Waste and Don't Go. By the time you get to Lost Cause, all that questioning becomes a bit whiny: "I feel like I'm a lost cause/Life could be so sweet if I knew how to change." You're either going to love or hate the arrangement: classical piano and beautifully raw vocals interspersed with mechanical '80s synths which, though jarring at times, definitely piques interest. It's not easy listening, but it doesn't try to be.
