The first thing that strikes me, as I listen to Frida Selander’s new album “Try Again Baby”, is her dark, warm voice. Almost like a young Chrissie Hynde or Patti Smith and reminds a little of Birgit Bidder too.

And The Pretenders-vibes is what I hear as I continue to listen, but it’s more about rock and blues than pop, and the guitars are more distorted than clean. The sound feels retro, lots of the seventies, which gets most obvious when she get into country areas as well, like in the  Zuma-sounding “Way to love”.

Overall an even and good album with a nice groove. The songs grows with each listen as I discover the variation and find new favourites.

Listen more on Spotify or on Frida’s site or Facebook page.
