Sometimes music hits you like a good smoothie! Sometimes music hits you like sunbeams shimmering off of the ocean. Sometimes music hits you in your soul and you can’t help but smile! CROSSLEGGED new album Another Blue hits me in a way that I can’t help but feel happy as I listen to songs like “Only in The.” Her songwriting skills are uplifting and heartfelt which only makes me love this record even more! Imagine if Altered Images, Bjork, Mazzy Star, and Horace Andy became one voice the outcome just might come close to CROSSLEGGED. The production of Another Blue suits her voice and lyrics perfectly. The song “Fire” gives me chills and joy and the whole energy of this tune empowers me to exhale all of my stress while focusing on positive vibes! The first song on the record, “Heaven is Real,” is a slow-burning anthem that has this hypnotic dub vibe that has me totally transfixed. One thing that makes CROSSLEGGED so rad is how she is so much more than her influences and has created a sonic world of her own. Another BIG Tune is “Automatic” — the instrumentation on this song is sublime — every time I hear it, I can’t help to be stoked that the universe turned me on to CROSSLEGGED.
