Edie Brickell
's comeback album,
Picture Perfect Morning
, is a pleasant record of
adult contemporary
pop
with hints of
folk-rock
that are buried underneath the glossy production.
Brickell
sounds good and the production is impeccable, but the record never creates a consistent mood. More importantly, none of the songs are memorable, lacking distinctive, catchy melodies or memorable lyrics. As a result, the album is fine as background music but doesn't leave a lasting impact. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
