Lanie Gardner Faded Polaroids (CD)

(BMG Rights) 18 tracks, digisleeve

Named an “Artist to Watch” by the RIAA, Lanie Gardner (who has toured with artists such as the Jonas Brothers and Jelly Roll) turns up the volume with her 18-track album “Faded Polaroids.” This genre-spanning masterpiece defines her artistic voice. Bursting with dynamic energy and emotional depth, this second project, which includes the lively grooves of her summer EP “Polaroids,” promises a kaleidoscopic journey through sound. Fusing the raw soul of blues, the narrative power of country, the grit of rock, and the dreamy pulse of pop, each track has its own identity—some intimate and raw like “Concrete Cowboy,” others bold and cinematic like “The Hill Have Eyes,” —, with her signature velvety voice guiding listeners through themes of longing, resilience, and self-discovery. Influences from Fleetwood Mac to Chris Stapleton shimmer throughout the album, layered with unexpected twists and lush sonic textures.
