Rachel Loy's debut album is an excellent showcase of her talent as both a singer and a songwriter. A whole slew of pop gems are present here, from brightly optimistic "Big Sky" to the pop-punk influenced "Posers" to mid-tempo, bass-driven "Unscrew You." The album as a whole, though comprised of songs with very separate sounds, is consistent in style and definitely rings with a specific body-parts-in/on-other-body-parts tone.
Ms. Loy doesn't have a huge voice, and the songs don't have that over-the-top layered feel found in many big-name pop stars today, which makes for an easy listen. Do not take this album lightly, though; the songs on here have much more substance than most mainstream artists today (which should be expected from an artist who was a part of the Austin music scene).
As it is her debut, the sound is not quite as defined as it could be, but it definitely is no small feat to create as enjoyable a listen as "Love The Mess" on the first time out, and for that Rachel Loy should be commended. Pick this album up on Amazon.com and give it a listen; it might be a pleasant surprise.
