Pat O'Day - My Imaginary Lover

Review by Sarah Wood

My Imaginary Lover, the latest album by Pat O'Day, is a soulful and introspective collection of songs. The album features a mix of acoustic and electric guitar, backed by a solid rhythm section and O'Day's rich and emotive vocals.

The album opens with the title track, a haunting ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The lyrics are introspective, exploring themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. The music is sparse and atmospheric, with O'Day's voice carrying the emotional weight of the song.

Other standout tracks include "Dreams of You", a mid-tempo rocker that showcases O'Day's guitar skills, and "Broken Hearts and Broken Dreams", a soulful ballad that features some of the album's most poignant lyrics.

Summary by Sarah Wood

My Imaginary Lover is a strong effort from Pat O'Day. The album is well-crafted and cohesive, with each song building on the themes and emotions of the one before it. Fans of singer-songwriters like Elliott Smith and Jeff Buckley will find much to appreciate here.
