Review

Lilith Fair darling Tracy Bonham doesn't have a lot to prove, at least not to anyone who paid attention to 2000's excellent Down Here, but on Blink the Brightest she barrels full-bore through a clutch of carefully chiseled songs as if the world had forgotten her. On some, it's with the force of a Jonatha Brooke--gentle but juiced with wisdom--while on others it's with the brewing intensity of Fiona Apple or the knowing poise of Joan Osbourne. Derivative, though, these tunes are not: "And The World Has the Nerve to Keep Turning" is a dazzling slice of outrage churned in a patient, pretty voice, and "Naked" reveals itself in bold, artful strokes. Where Bonham is at her best, though, is on the experimental-sounding "Wilting Flower." As her voice pulls away from the music and momentarily flutters adrift, you can't help suspecting that there are a lot of smart music buyers in America ready for an explosion of tightly wound female talent, and that this is their disc. --Tammy La GorceTracy Bonham, the acclaimed singer and songwriter who burst onto the national stage with her #1 Modern Rock hit, "Mother Mother," is back with her most compelling album yet, 'blink the brightest,' featuring 12 of the most captivating, resonant songs she has ever written. The multi-instrumentalist, who earned a Gold record and two Grammy ® nominations for her debut CD, plays violin, piano, keyboards, guitar, and vibes on the new album. "This record goes back to my core, to the music that I really love, incorporating classical influences, rock and pop, sometimes an r&b or soul flavor," says Bonham. In search of diverse soundscapes, Bonham co-produced the album with Greg Collins, who has engineered and mixed records for U2, No Doubt, and Matchbox Twenty, among others, and Joey Waronker, who has drummed for REM and Beck.
