Details Lead Performance: Lori Carson

Rarely has romantic angst seemed so...comforting. Stars, Carson's soundtrack to heartbreak, is downright beautiful — ethereal and reassuring — and that's both the album's blessing and curse. Sonic textures complement her breathy vocals, yet there's something suspect in their all-too-soothing nature: If this is desire, shouldn't it hurt more than it does?
