PRAISE FOR LADY FOR SALE:
“Rather than a slick country-pop affair or sparse singer-songwriter project, Lady for Sale finds a third path, one where the aesthetics of Eighties country and synth-pop collide in tightly written, clever songs…Keen music listeners will recognize some of the reference points, but they’re also employed as ways for Kirke to frame her smart examinations of unhealthy relationships and show-business pitfalls.” – ROLLING STONE
“Fabulously catchy… Kirke’s joyfully upbeat music takes its cue from country rock trailblazer Tanya Tucker and Nineties singer Jo Dee Messina, adding in a little Seventies disco and Eighties power pop for good measure.” – THE INDEPENDENT
“A new era of sparkle-country is upon us, and Lola Kirke is here to usher it in in a glittery blaze of pedal steel and synth…An homage to the 1980s and 1990s genre queens like Reba, Martina, Trisha, and The Judds, Lady for Sale shows off Kirke’s vocal prowess and her ability to carve out a fresh corner for herself.” – NO DEPRESSION
“A ten-track indulgence, Lola Kirke is leaning into the brash glitz and glam of a deliciously gaudy country sound… Delectable chorus after delectable chorus soars above all else. With the melodies doing their best to push their luck, it’s this swinging energy under which Lady For Sale thrives. Indeed, this isn’t an album created to lay low, it begs for attention, and once you’re in its sights, it’s impossible not to do so.” – THE LINE OF BEST FIT (9/10)
“This is big, blousy, country pop that buffs its pedal steel to a chrome gleam, offsets snappy production with misty-eyed longing…Kirke sees the magic in the performative pleasures of this ritzy sound, how its AM glory brings a little heroism to a domestic life, making pain you should have dodged and longing you should have got over feel spotlight-worthy for a few minutes. It makes sense, too, that she found a home at Third Man, a label built on the urge to embody an aesthetic to its fullest extent.” – PITCHFORK
“The glitzy lovechild of country and disco that Kirke always dreamed of making. – INTERVIEW
“Lady For Sale is marked out by its singular ‘80s pop-meets-country rock sound, and presents a woman at a crossroads, heading in the direction she hopes is right…It’s a strong record alive with honesty and energy.” – ATWOOD MAGAZINE
“Lady For Sale reads like a playful, more C&W-inspired take on her prior output—all of which seeming to provide Kirke with a much-needed respite from the pressures associated with her career in the world of film and TV.” – FLOOD
“The landscape of country music has had an abundance of amazingly strong, talented and strong female artists that have influenced the genre since its inception. With her sophomore record, Lady For Sale, we can add Lola Kirke to this impressive pantheon.” – NORTHERN TRANSMISSIONS
