Amelie Patterson - The War [Music Review] April 20, 2023 by Travis Erwin in Music, Singer/Songwriter, Americana, Adult Contemporary, Folk Rating: 4.5 out of 5 “I suppose it is rather ironic, but there is a lot of great Americana music being created by Canadians these days, and Amelie Patterson certainly joins that select group. ‘The War’ has Folk and Indie Rock elements and is tough to categorize like a lot of Americana. No doubt there will Brandi Carlile comparisons, and that is an apt similarity, but no mistake, no matter what artists served as her inspiration, Patterson is a talented and capable artist creating her own sound. Deeply emotional and brooding in the build, this is a track that I will listen to over and over again to extract every last drop of nuance and meaning.” — Travis Erwin ~ LA on Lock Blogger
