Review

Diving into Billie Marten's "Writing of Blues and Yellows" is like wrapping yourself up in a cozy blanket on a quiet evening. Her voice, warm and comforting, pulls you into a world where every word feels like a gentle whisper to your soul. The album, a 2016 treasure, is a testament to Marten's gift for painting emotions with the broad strokes of her songwriting. It's the kind of music that doesn't just play in the background; it commands your attention with its tenderness and poetic grace.

Each track on this album is a vignette, a snapshot of life's subtleties and introspections. Songs like "La Lune" and "Bird" are delicate and haunting, with melodies that float around you like a soft mist. Then there are moments where the tempo lifts ever so slightly, as in "Milk & Honey" and "Green," where Marten's folk-pop sensibilities shine through, adding a layer of sunshine to the album's overall mellow vibe. "Writing of Blues and Yellows" isn't just a showcase of Marten's growth; it's an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reflect on the beauty in the quieter moments of life. It's a journey worth taking, and one that leaves you with a sense of peace and a renewed appreciation for the art of storytelling through song. - Preston
