You Don’t Know A Thing About Love is a solid introduction to Roxie Randle’s inimitable style. This introductory track takes equal parts pop, singer-songwriter, and country genres and ties them into a cohesive entity. Heading up this track is Randle’s vocals, which set the stage for the rest of the album. Few artists would be able to create such an emotionally-charged presence with their vocals, but Randle is able to show herself with each subsequent track.
Goin’ Nowhere ratchets up the tempo while relying on the complex interplay between each of the instrumental elements. Listeners will be singing along to the chorus of Goin’ Nowhere soon after their first listen. Learning to Fly is a vitally important track, as it showcases a more poppy and fancy-free sound to Randle. The variety of contexts in which listeners can enjoy Randle is considerable; while one can listen to the surface of the tracks and be utterly hooked, the eclectic arrangements and deep thoughts broached here further extend the disc’s replay value.
You Were Wrong is the final track on this EP, allowing Randle to slow things down. Little more is needed in this track between Randle’s vocals and a guitar. The two elements are able to push their counterpart ever higher. Randle presents hit after hit on Little Victory; I simply cannot wait to hear what she will release in the years to come. Take a look at her website and check out any tour dates or news about this exciting new artist.
