Lindsay perfects the sound of the pop country scene with her interesting California-hybrid twang on her new EP Drive Of My Life. The 4 song EP reminds one of the journey of life one must take, especially at the age Lindsay and most of her listeners are in: not knowing of what lies ahead, especially in those 20s days where things can be quite confusing.The title track Drive Of My Life alludes to the journey east and taking everything in the car and just heading out there. This very much sets the tone for the EP: the uncertainty is there, but then again, it's a long way back, and we decided to head out, so here's a toast to what comes. No going back to the old. Fool's Gold reminds a lot of the heartbreak in the house of Reba and Tammy Wynette, although with a sense of the new pop-era music that is just enough to add flavor to the music without sending the deepest overtones. The art of rejection and the quiet retraction that comes with forcing someone out of your life, and then admitting it sets that kind of thought process that Lindsay relays.With the next song, Can't Love You Anymore, there is a sort of resolution to an extent, although it feels like this is the kindest way to say I'm breaking up with you. It feels like a face-to-face response to the guy from Fool's Gold, and is aptly placed as result. As a tribute to the new love that a young woman feels, Lindsay relays that the love is bad to her health, and is placed to show that even with the fact that the love is definitely in conundrum - does she love you, dude, or perhaps it's just kind of like you need to get out before something bad happens and I lose it? The definite Taylor Swift-style (early Swift as a metric; the latest is far from Lindsay's routine) is enough to show contrast between a pop-country song in tune with a set of lyrics that are definitely for bittersweetness.And finally, to close the album, Carolina Blue, which reminds of 90s Garth Brooks in a way, with the sort of beat that reminds one of the performing circuit, and completes the feeling of Drive Of My Life as finding that last destination (for now), and looking back and seeing it as a tough journey, but somehow, the downbeat is contrasted with a sense of resolve in the lyrics, that perhaps this road will be tough and it really stinks that I'm on my own, and it feels bad right now. But then, the allusion to a Carolina Blue reminds a lot of the way that all musicians feel when striking out on their own for the first time....that it's a foreign place, and I just need to think to myself. Overall, Lindsay has the heartbreak in her songs of a hundred busted relationships. Some may listen to it and think that it's completely retracted and otherwise reminding of a LeAnn Rimes of the 90s How Can I Live. However, the simple approach of Lindsay compared to the overproduced pop sound that emanates through the radio waves nowadays in terms of country radio earns this EP five stars because it's just that much easier to stomach. Definitely worth helping out and opening new visions and ideas.
