Shawna Virago - Last Night's Sugar
A song like "The Ballad of Miss Suzy Texas" can make the listener restless after a while. Shawna has a distinctive, emotive vocal style, but a song like "The Ballad of Miss Suzy Texas," and the one that immediately follows it, "Last Night's Sugar," just don't have the kind of dynamics that keep the sonic interesting. Once you hear the first verse and chorus, you've pretty much heard it all. Key changes and bridges are two elements that help create memorable pop song moments, and these are two elements this album, to a large degree, severely lacks.
Virago has a compelling story to tell. Last Night's Sugar, sadly, is not the album that effectively tells it.
