Lynn’s songs still feel like singer-songwriter pieces at heart and could easily withstand spartan acoustic arrangements, but she’s also embraced a pop aesthetic that results in some of her strongest choruses to date. And out of the six records she’s released so far, none more than Something More Than Love have positioned her for crossover success.
Undoubtedly both factor into the success of Something More Than Love, but even if one didn’t know the context that went into the making of this music, it’s also easy to see these 11 songs as a natural blossoming of a songwriter who has shown clear development with each new record – because it is. There are easy biographical speculations one can point to in explaining Something More Than Love’s timbre, some even provided in the LP’s promotional materials: a newborn in Lynn’s life, a fruitful collaborative process with her partner and co-producer Todd Lombardo. All of this is to say: the Lera Lynn who has, for some time, been one of the most underrated songwriters in the broadly defined Americana scene, still sounds like herself on Something More Than Love. Before evolving into a gorgeous chorus, “Conflict of Interest” opens with a stark arrangement of Lynn’s voice accompanied by gentle synths, teasing a very different song than what ends up unfolding. The title track evokes Massive Attack‘s “Teardrop”. The finale of “Cog in the Machine” poses the unsettling question, “Can freedom be surrendering?” On the stunning “What is this Body?”, a rumination on the physical and emotional changes she underwent following the birth of her child in 2020 amidst the COVID pandemic, she asks even more disquieting things, which seem as informed by uncertainty as by wonder:Īnd though the music trends toward brighter, inviting pop sounds, Lynn sprinkles the album with moments of dark energy. Lyrically she remains invested in weighty subjects. Something More Than Love, Lynn’s sixth studio outing, isn’t without these characteristic bouts of gloom. In this bare-bones composition, Lynn sings haunting laments over a down-tuned guitar: “This is my least favorite life / The one where I am out of my mind / The one where you are just out of reach / The one where I stay, and you fly.” Her 2018 duets LP, Plays Well with Others, counts as one of its best moments a back-and-forth with John Paul White called “Lose Myself”, in which she and White catalogue the volleys of a push-and-pull relationship that seems to have reached its end. There’s “My Least Favorite Life”, her contribution to True Detective‘s second season soundtrack.
There’s the finale of On My Own (2020), “Things Change”, which turns a basic platitude – it’s right there in the title – into a brooding rock number that builds to a powerful crescendo.
