No words left

"Bringing back Something's Changing (2017) producer Tim Bidwell for her fourth album, No Words Left, singer/songwriter Lucy Rose remains in the intimate, hushed acoustic sphere of her third release. It soon becomes evident, however, that, while stylistically similar, No Words Left is a more somber, heartbroken outing".

"Lyrically, this is the best Rose has ever been. Poignant, affecting and candid, at times it's spectacular. Yet the music fails to reach the same heights, resulting in a mismatched record. Sometimes excellent, sometimes uninvitingly dreary, 'No Words Left' is an ordinary album from a musician who could be truly extraordinary".

"Her fourth album, No Words Left, is her starkest, filled with lyrics about uncertainty and isolation, and yet her most striking, conveying the strongest sense of her artistic identity yet ... And, in an age where every artist is singing about their anxieties, the rawness of her admissions stand out: "I'm terrified that these things won't ever change, for all of my life" she sings on Treat Me Like a Woman, a song that manages to swoon and hold its nerve. On Song After Song, she confesses that a friend's comfort is wasted on her enduring inferiority complex. The bleak and beautiful No Words Left should go some way to mitigating it".
