Review

I've always been drawn to the vibrant sound of "Talking Dreams", which bursts with youthful energy and a joyful spirit. The Sierota siblings, along with their father, have crafted an album that effortlessly blends elements of '80s pop, dance-rock, and neo-new wave, creating a unique sound that's both nostalgic and fresh. When I listen to tracks like "Cool Kids" and "Let's Love", I'm struck by the infectious choruses and memorable melodies that make them perfect for singing along. The production, handled by Mike Elizondo, brings a radio-ready quality to the songs that's hard to resist. With "Talking Dreams", Echosmith has created an album that's full of life and enthusiasm, making it a joy to listen to.

The album's standout tracks, including "Come with Me" and the title song "Talking Dreams", showcase the band's ability to craft songs that are both catchy and uplifting. While some may argue that the album lacks depth and originality, I think its bright, sunny sound and energetic vibe make it a wonderful debut. Echosmith's music is reminiscent of bands like U2, Fleetwood Mac, and The Killers, yet they've managed to carve out their own niche in the indie pop scene. With "Talking Dreams", the band has delivered an exuberant and youthful album that's sure to leave listeners feeling energized and inspired. The album's polish and sheen may make it feel familiar, but to me, that's part of its charm. - Erika
