On her eighth album, veteran Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk holds nothing back—vocally, lyrically or musically. Though hardly lacking in the soaring performances and inspirational sentiments that define her songbook, there’s a rawness, intimacy and exploratory ethos at play on Get to You that sets it apart from her signature style of folky, piano-gilded pop. “Keep Going” couches its message of perseverance in a dreamlike blur of old-school soul and new-school R&B, while on “Room Full of People”, Kreviazuk owns up to her flaws and insecurities in a song that likewise makes a virtue of its own imperfections, with a live-in-the-room ambiance and solitary electric-guitar strums that recall Feist’s indie-rock confessionals. And even when Kreviazuk returns to her natural piano-ballad habitat—like on “Love Gone Insane” and “Unforgiveable”—the spare presentation only serves to intensify the blunt emotional impact of her words, and clear the way for some electrifying vocal acrobatics.
