It opens with the mid-tempo and refreshing “Young Blood,” which has a liberating vibe to it, and it is followed by the haunting yet beautiful ballad “Dear Daddy.”
“Blame It on You” has a neat groove to it, with a jazzy vibe. Equally soothing is her warm and brave rendition of “The Thunder Rolls,” which would make Garth Brooks proud. The lyrics of “7 Years” are autobiographical and semi-poetic, and the control she maintains over her voice is impeccable.
“Good in Your Goodbye” is another haunting tune, where the listener can recall The Civil Wars (Joy Williams). The title track “Break Your Crowns” is another powerhouse, emotional performance.
After the sultry and mellow “True Love,” the album closes with the upbeat “Free,” and the acoustic ballad “Where My Heart Has Been,” which features soaring harmonies.
