Thomas Barquée - Girls Talk

Review by Cemil Tarhan

Girls Talk, the latest album by Thomas Barquée, is a collection of 11 tracks that explore the complexities of relationships and human emotions in a refreshing and honest way. The album features a blend of pop, rock, and folk influences, creating a unique sound that is both catchy and introspective.

The opening track, "Say It Straight," sets the tone for the album with its upbeat tempo and catchy chorus. The lyrics explore the difficulty of expressing one's true feelings and the importance of being honest in relationships. This theme is further explored in tracks such as "I Don't Wanna Play" and "The Power of a Woman."

Barquée's songwriting is particularly strong on tracks such as "Not the One," which features a haunting melody and lyrics that speak to the pain of unrequited love. The album also features a cover of the classic song "Girls Talk," which Barquée puts his own spin on with a stripped-down acoustic arrangement.

Summary by Cemil Tarhan

Girls Talk is a solid album that showcases Barquée's talent as a songwriter and musician. The album is well-produced and features strong performances from the backing band. Fans of artists such as Ed Sheeran and John Mayer are sure to enjoy this album.
