Juliana Hatfield Sings ELO - Album Released and Review Round-up

Juliana’s new ELO covers album is out now, available on the major streaming services with further physical options via American Laundromat Records and Bandcamp.

A selection of the reviews:

…her strongest tribute album yet; it may be one of her strongest records ever

Ray Chestowski, stereophile

The one-woman production preserves Lynne’s style yet dials down the theatrics to not quite garage band levels, making it one of the most successful outings in her ongoing covers project series.

Hal Horowitz, American Songwriter (3.5/5)

The brilliance of choosing to cover a band like ELO, familiar to millions across generations, is that simply by taking out the synthesizers, an instrument synonymous with the band, and replicating those parts with guitars and bass (with a little piano added in here and there), the sound is still vaguely familiar but redefined for another genre. The result is impressive.

John Moore, Glide Magazine

The indelible guitar hooks and high-gloss melodies of ELO shine through most on “From the End of the World,” though. Hatfield nails that deeper-catalog track and a few other career earworms from ELO, but her overall style is locked down and less theatrical than even her own recordings.
