Trio
Country US fondé en 2006 et composé de Hannah Blaylock, Dean Berner et Cherill
Green.
Edens Edge
strike a careful blend of
Lady Antebellum
and Pistol Annies
on their eponymous 2012 debut. Produced by Mark Bright, a hitmaker for the likes
of Carrie
Underwood and
Rascal Flatts, Edens Edge certainly has a cool, bright sheen that fits
neatly into the parameters of contemporary country-pop radio, but the group
threads in traces of twang reminiscent of
Miranda Lambert
at her smoothest. Lead vocalist Hannah Blaylock invites these comparisons by
leaning hard into the choruses, but Bright's arrangements are underpinned by
acoustic guitars and Dobros, down-home instruments that peek out from underneath
the gloss. The most appealing thing about Edens Edge -- both the group and the
album -- is that they're at heart a pop group, one that's nearly as soft and
ready for crossover as
Lady Antebellum,
but these strategically deployed roots flourishes keep them from being too slick
and sugary, a risk the group certainly flirts with throughout the album. And,
like much mainstream country of the new millennium, there is a heavier emphasis
on product placement and name-dropping than necessary -- allusions to Bocephus
and Alan Jackson in
no way lend the group grit -- because Edens Edge's music is so pretty it needs
no extra sweetening; it's the kind of music that becomes a hit not through its
insistence but through its gentleness. Edens Edge may lack a distinguishing
personality -- they're eager to fit into the confines of commercial country --
but the trio plays the game cleanly on this album, winding up with an
ingratiating country-pop debut.
