Thank you to the lovely people at Indie O’Clock for the very nice review (we’re very grateful):
Auburn with Liz Lenten has just released an impressive folk album that provides a delightful listening experience, light, fresh and original, a work that captivates us and wins our hearts, we love it very much.
After the lockdown period, Behind The Scenes was created through the collaboration of 32 composers, musicians and producers from the USA, UK and Brazil, blending the traditional sound of American music with an acoustic and emotive pop.
The title track, Perfect Imperfections, is a warm and melodic love song about how vulnerability and humor deepen connection — not despite our flaws, but because of them.
With organic production, masterfully storytelling lyrics, and transatlantic influences, the project naturally fits alongside contemporary artists like Brandi Carlile and The Secret Sisters. Liz Lenten (BEM) brings years of music industry experience, Nashville recording credentials, and international radio presence to this release.
This album opens with a very enjoyable song, Bathroom Shelf is light, with fresh sounds that captivate us and give us the complete impression of listening to a song from our adolescence; this track is brilliant and powerful and is certainly an excellent choice to open the album, we love it.
“Perfect Imperfections” is wonderful, one of the best, a great highlight. The vocals add drama and drive the music, making it even more intense and exciting. This song has a provocative and inspiring vibe, putting us in touch with our imperfections and making us look at ourselves and others with more understanding. The song has a very well-crafted chorus that makes you want to sing along, captivating you. It’s a vibrant and intelligent song; we’re left with the feeling of having found a song that represents us.
The third song arrives with force, dynamism, and a different vibe from the previous ones, bringing something more electronic, a captivating, intense pop that has depth, combined with elegance, and again features very powerful and charming vocals. This song is for listening to while enjoying a glass of wine and good laughs with friends or loved ones. It brings a delicate atmosphere to our nights, makes us feel, pulls us out of our numbness, makes us float—a song to put on and let the delightful atmosphere unfold.
The fourth song continues this folk vibe, returning to a perfect acoustic sound, with a combination that brings us peace. This track is captivating and moving; we are deeply impacted by the intimacy and surrender in this song. It’s the kind that grabs your attention, with beautiful composition, showcasing instrumental talent and creating highly creative arrangements full of its own personality, sung by a unique and magical voice. We love “Speaking In Tongues.”
Without further spoilers, this work is special and you will love it. You need to check out the other songs; it’s simply fantastic, intense, magical—a combination of factors that makes us feel great.
