Rosie thomas with love album trailer
With Love is the sixth album by American singer-songwriter Rosie Thomas, released on Valentine's Day 2012. It was Thomas's first album in four years, having taken time out due to a thyroid disorder and anxiety, getting married, and touring with Iron & Wine.
Contents
Thomas worked on the album with Sufjan Stevens' band, Sam Beam (Iron & Wine), and David Bazan (Pedro the Lion).
Reception
Allmusic gave the album three stars, with John O'Brien saying that is "plenty to enjoy here". PopMatters gave it 7/10, with Philip Majorins calling it "a charming and unexpected salute to the female pop vocalists of Rosie's youth" and "a risky, yet utterly sincere, retro-pop gem". Nate Chinen, reviewing the album for The New York Times noted that Thomas's "singing is bolder and more outgoing than on her previous albums". The Washington Post's Mike Joyce commented favorably on Thomas's voice but was less impressed with some of the lyrics, stating "You can't knock Thomas's attitude and sincerity any more than you can fault her vocal charms and the album's smart production." Ryan Reed, reviewing the album for Paste, gave the album 5.5 out of 10, finding fault in both the lyrics and the music.
