Noble whispers shouts freedom in Keri Noble’s new CD
Diana Nollen reviews Keri Noble’s self titled third CD noting a theme of breaking free and finding one’s voice. The collection blends Alanis Morissette and Norah Jones influences with Detroit roots shaping a Minneapolis based sound. Most tracks offer empowerment though Remember My Name recounts a young woman’s downward spiral. Mournful instrumentation underscores the album’s emotional edge while ending on a hopeful escape.
