Moody upstart Shea Seger is a 21st-century cowgirl. Sweet, and with a Texas drawl and a liking for country-blues guitar, Seger's lyrics are as sly and gritty as her voice, her observations as cutting as her melodies. Singing like a Sheryl Crow for the jilted generation, Seger addresses the concerns of a desperate country girl via gripping melodies, hard-bitten attitude, and contagious pop. The likes of "Walk on Rainbows" and "Last Time" boast savage production built around strings and dragging beats that owe a little something to Björk, but it's her magical blend of tender campfire backdrops ("Shatterwall"), lo-fi break beats ("Clutch"), hip-hop ("Blind Situation"), and Beck's "two turntables and an acoustic" aesthetic ("May Street") that separates Seger from singers such as Fiona Apple, Alanis Morissette, and Meredith Brooks. That and her gorgeously breathless voice. --Dan Gennoe
