The second album from the country-inspired, Irish singer/songwriter follows 2017's
Golden Eagle. While that release offered comparatively stark arrangements,
Not the Girl benefits from a lush, full-band sound, while the song themes remain equally personal and soul-searching. The lead singles "Be My Friend," "Daddy's Gone," and "Eye of the Storm" will appeal to fans of artists such as Alela Diane and Beth Orton. ~ James Wilkinson
