Colleen Brown, Foot In Heart

Colleen Brown might be better recognised as one-third of the sassy Edmonton-based all-female rock band the Secretaries, but it won’t be long before fans get to know her on a first name basis. Brown’s latest album, Foot In Heart, champions those moments we often find ourselves in that crazy little predicament called love. Feasting off of the influence of Joni Mitchell and Carole King, Brown challenges all of her songs head-on, her sweet yet triumphant vocals ringing throughout the record. “Fantastic Feeling” mixes pop momentum with delicate folk melodies, while other tracks like “Now That I’ve Found You” create an intimate heart-to-heart with the listener. Juicy in some parts, completely stripped down and honest at others, Brown’s Foot In Heart isn’t a record you’ll ever regret listening to. (Independent)
