I Am Not a Star

by Girl Blue

supported by

alwbsok It's a shame that this has been so overlooked, as O'Keefe is clearly brimming with talent. I particularly enjoyed her songwriting; the 7 songs here alternate intimate, sweeping, and driven, and she has a deft ear for lyrics and composition.

Her voice is another strength, but over all, I found it detracted slightly from the album. While her ability to belt, and add vocal flourishes, is certainly impressive, it tended to undercut the emotional impact of her songs. Still, you should check it out. Favorite track: Because It Moves Me.
