    Lydia Loveless has a seasoned voice for a young lady her age. Take, for example, Taylor Swift, Lorde and even Katy Perry - they all have little girl voices and I can't relate to that being 38 years old. This new album is more lyrically astute and the melodies, instrumentation and general feel of the album surpasses her last album, although that is a great album also. Can't help but say ILydia Loveless has a seasoned voice for a young lady her age.

This new album is more lyrically astute and the melodies, instrumentation and general feel of the album surpasses her last album, although that is a great album also. Can't help but say I love her cover of "They Don't Know About Love." I'm havin' a few beers while listening to this one. lol… Expand

    With her almost stream of consciousness talk-sing, some melodies on Somewhere Else are better formed than others. Like Patti Smith her songs can be as strong ultimately as the care invested in her hooks.

    Despite a couple of weaker links, Somewhere Else is extremely well put-together, and spilling over with appealing melodies, wit, and truth.

    She's actually more effective when slowing things things down a notch. [May 2014, p.77]
