7.0

“Unusually for an artist that’s one EP and several singles deep into their career, it’s still difficult to know what to expect from cellist/singer Kelsey Lu. That’s in part due to the range and prestige of the North Carolinian’s side projects, which have included arranging strings for Florence + The Machine, collaborating with Solange and Blood Orange, and participating in experimental live perform”

“With a beautiful sound and nearly perfect mixing, So Help Me God becomes a very interesting follow up to her debut. Even if the album is full of creative and overwhelmingly bright, grandious moments, the album at points feels so pretentious the actual point of the songs gets deluded by a sea of ideas that don’t always land. With her sophomore, the singer-songwriter seems to lack focus or want to add so much that it becomes too much.”
