Libby Johnson: Perfect View

Libby Johnson
Perfect View
Wrong Records [2010]









Fire Drill Review:
Do you have room for anymore female singer/songwriters in your iPod? Well either upgrade or delete that ABBA Gold you secretly have taking up space to allow Libby Johnson's sophomore solo record Perfect View a spot. You may actually already be familiar with Johnson's voice as she was a core member with her sister in the indie electric folk outfit 22 Brides. Now out on her own, Perfect View is much different from her earlier band work and its highlights include note-perfect tunefulness, colorful melodies, and solid songwriting. Her music has a warmth to it that makes Perfect View memorable and would be perfect for all types of media outlets, as well as just playing on your stereo! Libby Johnson is not necessarily a new talent but an artist that has been in the shawdows and just needs that one break - now is the time to give her a chance!

Key Track: "Rare And Beautiful"

Band With Similar Fire: Beth Orton
