Check out The Nashville Scene's review of Music For Lovers & Fighters.
Sara Beck at 12th & Porter
Mellow Gold
Jack Silverman
On her new album, Music for Lovers and Fighters, Sara Beck conjures a dreamy pop-soul hybrid that's a refreshingly understated alternative to the hyper-emotive, melisma-happy dreck that dominates pop and R&B radio. (People do still listen to radio, right?) It helps that she has a lovely, airy voice that can seduce you without smacking you over the head with a sledgehammer. Hell, don't just take our word for it—Stevie Wonder was so taken with her rendition of “Amazing Grace” at a memorial service that he invited her onstage during his December 2007 Sommet Center show to perform one of her own songs, complete with a Stevie harmonica solo. That song, “To Love Somebody,” is among the 13 mostly upbeat tracks Beck wrote or co-wrote for the album. Other highlights include the horn-punctuated “Pieces of Sunlight,” “Where the Sidewalk Ends” (based on the Shel Silverstein poem of the same name) and “Get Out of My Head,” featuring some trippy touches by her husband/co-producer, Park Chisolm.
