Love For Real has a vintage feel that recalls the 70's and early 80's, but breaks new ground by drawing from blues, pop and soul to create its original Neo-Pop sound. Gretchen's lyrics tell stories of love and life; her voice transports listeners to the past and gives them ways to imagine the future. Keyboardist and writing partner Danny Barnett crafts a strong sound around Gretchen's vocals; this is an album where the music and the vocals complement, never compete.
