MUSICREVIEWS LOVECOLLIDE Tired of Basic
Lauren Budnick and Brooke DeLeary, who combine to form pop sister duo LOVECOLLIDE, offer Tired of Basic (April 13, 2018), their third full-length album. Describing what fuels the sisters’ current sound, Lauren says, “We’ve always wanted to be current. It’s always been a journey for us, and always will be. I think our biggest goal with this new music and this new album was to create something that truly sounded like what we listen to on a daily basis, and what gets us going, and that’s dancy pop.” Fun, upbeat and energetic in tone and style, Tired of Basic is a positive turn in response to a season of doubt and uncertainty. From beginning to end, every track plays like a determined refusal to settle for ordinary — or anything close to it — in living and sharing faith. It is a youthful package carrying a mature message, encouraging listeners to be all in for Jesus.
