Spilt Milk, the debut single from Kristina Train is a bittersweet remedy for the music industry. While her voice stands out immensely on the mellow track, (a raspy soulful voice clearly influenced by Dusty Springfield and Aretha Franklin) the song itself is lacking character and flow.
The opening of the soft drumbeat and piano accompany the soulfulness of Train’s voice, reminiscent of Norah Jones (circa Come Away with Me). However, the chorus fails to impress, the melody sounding a bit erratic for the power of Train’s vocal abilities. While the lyrics are catchy, Train fails to connect the melody to the words after the first chorus.
Though not ideal for a debut single, the track showcases the power of Train’s voice perfectly. As the song progresses, her strength as a singer grows, convincing the listener that she is the real deal.
Train’s debut album is due out October 20th.
