4.5/5

Canadian singer Kirty was born into a big musical family in Toronto. When she was very young, she learned country, folk, and rock standards, and that diversity is all over this self-titled album.

There are many different musical styles here; for example, the first song, “All Broke Up,” is country, but also includes light rock. Every one of the album’s 10 songs has many different styles in it; the album as a whole cannot be defined as pop, rock, or country.

However, it’s not a confusing listening experience; Kirty combines all the sounds in a cohesive way. The singer links many musical styles like an engineer, and she assembles different parts so the machine can work very well.

I love that Kirty plays a softer style of music. Singers often use harder tunes to lash audiences, but this album is like a soul date.

The album’s sounds bring peace to me, and Kirty’s personality shines through the music.
