Lauren Christy (1993)

EW's GRADE
B-

Details Lead Performance: Lauren Christy; Genre: Rock

This Brit singer-songwriter pours out her slightly flaky heart, like Madonna circa ''Live to Tell.'' But Lauren Christy, on her self-titled debut, also tends to enunciate her awkwardly literal diary entries like a privileged New Age priss (e.g., ''My Jeans I Want Them Back''), drawing attention to musical backing that resembles the soft-focus schlock of a porno-courtship soundtrack.
