Describe it in 20 words Debut pop/rock album from three sisters on a mission - Rebecca Barlow (guitar), Alyssa Barlow (bass) and Lauren Barlow (drums).
Big Themes/Standout Tracks These three sisters definitely take their faith seriously, and their lyrics are challenging in a world where young (and old!) Christians are tempted to compromise. "Average Girl" is a song about celibacy outside of marriage, and packs an emotional punch. "She Walked Away" is a moving tale of a runaway girl.
Anything that lets it down It's well produced. The three sisters' devotion to God and spiritual purity shines through in the words. But none of the songs are particularly different or memorable. I have heard many other bands do music like this. The only thing that makes Barlow Girl different is the lyrical content.
Who it sounds like Guitar-based pop/rock in the vein of Busted, but with female vocals. Also, think of Avril Lavigne and Rebecca St James.
Rating *** Good effort
