- LOVE, SAVE THE EMPTY, the debut album from singer-songwriter Erin McCarley, boasts a collection of starkly confessional tunes couched in lush, acoustic pop. McCarley's clear knack for melody makes her tunes immediately accessible, yet her literate, emotional lyrics align her with singer-songwriters like Aimee Mann and Fiona Apple. McCarley's first effort is a true dose of soulful, contemporary singer-songwriter fare that will demand notice from fans of the genre.
Professional Reviews: Billboard (p.33) - "McCarley's no newbie, coming at her craft sounding smart, with a kind of versatility that few artists are allowed."
Blender (Magazine) (p.61) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Her breathy, seductive voice and cosmically put-upon vibe fit the pensive moments in light romantic drama....Life hands her lemons, she turns them into very special episodes."
