Album Review: Jehnny Beth - To Love is To Live

Album Review: Jehnny Beth - To Love is To Live

“While working with Savages, Jehnny served as the sharpened tip of the band’s rock thrust; now solo, she and her team of producers – Flood, Atticus Ross and long-time collaborator Johnny Hostile – have turned that point inwards on herself. On To Love is To Live they’ve crafted a set of songs that utilises thunderous beats, monolithic synths, a few guitars and some piano to form a reflective fortress around the singer, allowing her to maintain her power even when she’s at her most vulnerable.”

I reviewed the very interesting To Love is To Live; the debut solo album by Jehnny Beth. You can read that on Beats Per Minute.

'Heroine' comes from Jehnny Beth's debut solo album 'TO LOVE IS TO LIVE' The album will be released June 12th and is available to pre-order & save here: http...
