Apr 30, 2017Lydia Ainsworth proves to be one of the most eclectic and versatile producers and performers nowadays, mixing lush orchestral and baroque pop with oddly dark electronics. However, the formula sometimes doesn't work really well, and the sum of the parts makes for overdubbed and over-the-top songs.

Apr 25, 2017While she does have an ear for sound and different styles, it feels like there is too much going on here. Too many styles crammed into 11 songs can sound quite cacophonous at times; however, Ainsworth confidently prowls over each track as her voice tumbles and leaps in many interesting ways that keep you listening.

Apr 20, 2017While Ainsworth is getting closer to making an impact with her sultry romanticism, she also hasn’t refused to give up that producers’ mentality that stifles her more spontaneous urges.

Apr 17, 2017She hasn’t yet sorted out the particular combination of influences that fit her strengths, and few of the songs’ melodies are compelling enough to overcome the album’s strangely stale take on alternative pop.

Apr 4, 2017While she is hardly the only artist mixing traditional musical forms with contemporary electronics, she does so with her unmistakable touch. Her latest album broadens and expands the reach of her already deft compositions.
