Gabby Barrett’s ‘Goldmine’: Album Review

This really is unbelievably short-sighted…

Chris Willman Music WriterNo one can accuse Willie Nelson of not acting his age… which, at 87, is an impressive feat. Throughout a recent string of albums, he’s been remarkably willing to devote much or most of the content to reflections on aging, which include looking back on regrets (or the lack of them — he did name a recent record after Frank Sinatra’s “My Way,” after all) and sweeter memories, or even ahead, to the reunion of lovers beyond the grave.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorAs one might guess from their name — which is pronounced “krungbin” and means “engine fly” in Thai — Houston-based trio Khruangbin is not intentionally aimed at the pop market.

Brett Young, who’s celebrating his first Father’s Day as a dad, as well as a welcome return from Rascal Flatts as they prepare to say goodbye.Rascal Flatts, “How They Remember You” The title track from the trio’s presumptive last effort, an EP out July 31, is a great send-off.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorThe annals of contemporary music are rife with legendary unreleased albums: the Beach Boys’ “Smile,” The Who’s “Rock Is Dead,” Marvin Gaye’s “Love Man,” David Bowie’s soundtrack for “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” several from Prince, Bruce Springsteen and perhaps most of all, Neil Young.

Gabby Barrett has a lot to celebrate — and there will be pizza, Netflix and dessert involved!The 20-year-old singer released her highly anticipated debut album, Goldmine, on Friday. «It's definitely emotional,» the American Idol alum exclusively tells ET. «It's exciting mostly, but it also makes me feel so blessed and grateful for the journey that brought me to this place.

Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorPhoebe Bridgers has a high, wispy, pretty voice that often camouflages the intense, incisive or batshit things she’s singing about. Combined with the soft-focus production on most of her songs, it’s almost lulling — and if you’re only half-listening, you may not realize a song is told from the perspective of a murderer taking his (or her) last breaths, is a rebuke to her estranged real-life father or is directed at a skeevy former mentor-lover twice her age.

Gabby Barrett's debut album, Goldmine, the end of the chorus in "Hall of Fame" reveals an unexpected nugget: a high-pitched trill-like vocal sound that has all the other-worldly qualities of Mariah Carey's "Emotions."That moment, and the fact that Barrett let 25 minutes pass before employing it in the album, says several things about her:• She brings a phenomenal range to her craft.• She has listened to some of pop music's classic singers.• She's mature enough — and confident enough — to employ
