Samantha Crain is back, and this time with a full time band comprised of talented musicians behind her. Songs in the Night is a great response to her solo EP, Confiscation, which only had five tracks, and shows her recent maturity in both lyricism and musicianship. As usual her unique and intriguing voice is what really draws you into the album. The accompaniments work well to highlight her voice without become overpowering, and still find a balance by using tasteful embellishments and solos. All of the tracks are great, and there's a good amount of musical diversity as well that will keep you interested the whole time. My only real critique is of track 8, Bullfight (Change Your Mind), which isn't necessarily bad, but seems like an awkward addition to the album, and is slightly out of place. Otherwise, the album is impressive, and worth your time.

1. Rising Sun
2. Songs in the Night
