Caroline Brennan Reviews

She has a clear sweet voice, something of her Irish background perhaps? Perfect for the Americana, folksy country music she makes. The songs are catchy, beautifully
written, poignant, and commercial without being overdone. 

A lovely folksy country…again that’s the Irish I think. Whatever her path to her sound, it’s powerful…in the softest of ways. 

Caroline Brennan’s new EP ‘The Journey’ is underpinned with a deep message of hope. Out through Zephyr Sound, the 5 song record acknowledges themes of struggle and sadness, while remaining true to its convictions that light and joy are able to reach through the darkness.

‘Break All the Rules’ is an empowering anthem that encourages its listeners to bravely start a new chapter in their lives by jumping into a new relationship and taking a chance on love.

The gentle wisdom, humility and warmth that Brennan infuses into her latest collection of tunes makes it both profound and lighthearted. While the album thematically acknowledges struggle and sadness, it also remains certain in its conviction that everyone transcends and reach beyond the darkness.

Classic country licks with twangy guitars and melodic vocals, with a message of hope underneath the usual country blues - that's the appeal of Caroline Brennan's release The Journey. 

The Cape Cod based singer and songwriter's music is steeped in golden age Americana. Her lyrics are direct and relate to personal experience.  

Whether you're in it for the country sound or the lyrics to remind you of the beach, the sunshine, and just better times, this EP has a certain energy about it that just feels so positive it's difficult not to like it.  

She proves time and again that she is just as comfortable delivering a three-minute, radio-ready single as she is delivering a gut-wrenching number. And, that duality certainly shines through.  

As a whole, this new record from Caroline Brennan takes its title to heart. And, Brennan takes her listeners on a journey of emotions on this release. From upbeat and feel-good to introspective and somber, Brennan captains the ship seamlessly.

“Break All the Rules” travels on glimmering guitars atop a pushing rhythm as Brennan’s velvety, melodic vocals infuse the lyrics with expectant, quixotic aromas.

Wonderfully wrought, The Journey reveals the delicious, drawling voice of Caroline Brennan, captivating listeners with its palpable emotion.
