A raspy-throated torcher in the tradition of Bonnie Tyler and Kim Carnes, Ms. Villalobos syncs up her urgent, soul-tugging delivery with choruses that hook and hold. Steady, serene pedal steel-laced backup provides the ideal counterweight.  Airplay naturals include “Taillights”, “Hold On To Rockets” and ”Come Undone (Interstate Ache)”.
