Bathtub Love Killings

Bathtub Love Killings

Black Belles frontwoman Olivia Jean—who’s backed Jack White and artists like Wanda Jackson and Karen Elson—has released her first solo album on White’s Third Man Records, playing every instrument she could get her hands on. Simple, timeless melodies are given a retro vibe that’s never overbearing but somehow oddly contemporary. “Green Honeycreeper” uses a playful bass guitar line to hold the vocals, drums, and guitars in line. “Haunt Me” displays the country-pop elements of her voice that reflect the vintage hairdo on the album’s cover. Tracks such as “Mistakes,” “Merry Widow,” “December,” and “Cat Fight” best demonstrate Olivia Jean’s unusual powers of seduction.
