Naess
Leona Naess
Recorded during a now-shattered romance with alt-country bad boy Ryan Adams, Leona Naess’ third album is a mid-tempo discourse on several aspects of love–healing, obsession, sexual and sweet. Using her icy/warm vocals and unreservedly catchy pop melodies, Naess lays herself bare on all 11 tracks as a hopeless and hopeful romantic. She breaks little new ground, but from the endearingly singsong opener, “Calling,” to the guitar-jangling quasi-rocker “Home,” an unflinching earnestness warms these torchy missives.
