Christie Lamb tells the truth about new album Dare

If you’ve ever seen Christie Lamb play live you’ll know just how compelling a musical presence she is, with her powerful vocals and inherent musicality. She’s played in all sorts of places, from private events to arena tours, and each step of her career has seen her develop further as an artist. Her artistry has also been developed through tertiary studies, and music is now part of who she is.Lamb’s latest album, Dare, is the natural follow-up to Truth from 2022, and also an evolution in sound and storytelling. As Lamb is now a mother to Charlotte, with husband and longtime musical collaborator Jonathan English, the new album reflects the family side of her life as well as the fact that motherhood has not meant that she wants to stay home all the time. She’s a working artist, with the atypical lifestyle that brings, and she her songs reflect her reality as well as being relatable to anyone not only balancing work and family life but looking for meaning in both.Some of the songs on the album were, she tells me during this interview, developed with specific themes in mind while others developed organically. ‘You kind of let the song dictate to you in a way,’ she says, ‘whether it's from a title or a concept or just a feel of a song.’Lamb clearly approaches the creative process with an open mind and sense of adventure. As she says, ‘Dare to suck. Throw ideas out there [even] if it sounds cheesy or you think it's a bit cringe.’ It’s safe to say, however, that none of the songs on Dare are even remotely cringe! They are, in fact, incredibly earwormy, and you will find yourself being kept company by them, in a great way, for a long time to come.Listen to Dare on Apple MusicListen to Dare on SpotifyFor more Sunburnt Country Music:InstagramFacebook YouTubewebsite Substack Hosted on Acast.
