Imogen Clark, Collide Review

has been on the minds and in the ears of many Country music fans since her debut Love & Lovely Lies. Emerging at a young age, Clark already had great clarity, lyrical creativity, and wide-eyed ambition. Now, two years have passed, and Clark has released her sophomore album, Collide. The new album finds Clark embracing and exploring both the dark and light sides of the human condition in her lyrics, and I must say her voice is as beautiful as ever. She also presents multiple styles and pushes the boundaries of her past alt-country/Americana sounds, by incorporating influences of rock and folk music. Producer/musician Mark Lizotte (Diesel) helps solidify the influences of country and Americana music with rock and folk. The result? An excellent album of eleven beautifully sung  tunes that have something for everyone and that’s the short of it!
