Mindy Smith is an excellent alt country artist I’ve featured before, so I’ll spare you the backstory. Her third full-length album Stupid Love, came out last year and is a nice step forward for her. While still embracing her original folksy sound, Smith has found a way to branch out ever so slightly and it pays off. Little things like reverse guitar effects, quirky keyboards and programmed drum beats lift this album slightly out of what you’d expect from Smith. She got some high profile Nashville friends such as Amy Grant, Vince Gill, and Leigh Nash to lend backup vocals. Stupid Love is true to its title and is mostly a breakup album, save for the excellent “True Love of Mine,” a beautiful duet with Jeremy Lister. “Love Lost” is probably my favorite track. It features all the aforementioned elements as well as one of the strongest hooks on the record. Consider this another win for Mindy Smith. She hasn’t disappointed me yet.Mindy Smith - "Love Lost"
