Some
albums creep up on you. They take time to warm your ear and soak into
your soul. Lucy Schwartz’ sophomore effort, in-stores September 2010, is
quite the contrary. “My Darling” opens “Life in Letters” with a soon to
be radio hit. Schwartz’ pop melodies and movie soundtrack sounds are
sumptuous. Listening to “Life in Letters” you begin to feel like life
actually is a TV show or a romantic comedy. The album unfolds like a
series of intimate correspondence between lovers or old friends.
Schwartz, at 20 years old, has already written songs for major
television shows such as Grey’s Anatomy, Parenthood, and Private
Practice and big budget pictures such as Shrek: Forever After and The
Women. Her voice, her lyrics and her song writing seeps with maturity
and wisdom. Mitchell Froom, “Life in Letters” producer (Coconut Records
and Paul McCartney) adds sophistication and balance to Schwartz’ already
impressive musical career. The track, “Rain City,” expresses the
inadequacies and insecurities everyone goes through. The metaphoric
image of a body inside out is tragic and universal. Schwartz’ lyrical
depth is abound....
