Album Review: Pearl Charles - Magic Mirror

Magic Mirror is the second studio full-length album by American singer Pearl Charles, It was released on January 15, 2021. I've waited for so long for this type of 70s vibe to make a resurgence in music and it's been poppin' off in the past few years. Love this album. Love her singing voice. I hear hints of Christine Mcvee, Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt, Carly Simon, and even some ABBA. throughout the record, she serves up 37 minutes of reflections on love, loss, and personal growth. Upon hearing this record I definitely thought of albums like Rumors by Fleetwood Mac & Arrivals by Abba, She does a great job of nailing that 1970s vibe with precision. While the music is dreamy, an excellent album, but it would be even better if there was more songs in the same ambiance of the first track. I've seen some comparisons or people describing her music genre as disco country, she's not shy about showing off her influences, and you know you can definitely feel that throughout the record minus the opening song, she falls more in that category with artists like Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Stevie Nicks. Overall, I really enjoy the whole aesthetic she delivers, and instrumentation is well-produced with great bright cosmic celestial synths and classic rock themes, along with profound, subtle bends of slide guitar, I definitely recommend this record if you adore this music genre, I rate this 10/10.
