It’s clear why the recordings by artist Rachel Troublefield have garnered TV licensing. Her moody, artful songs—spearheaded by the artist’s interesting vocal edge and electronic flourishes—have a quality that is richly produced and consistently mood-inducing. “What A Time” is interesting in the way it melds a heavy, downcast mood with positive, optimistic lyrics about a budding love affair. The breakup song “Muscle Memory” has an abiding sadness and roiling anguish that suggest the artist’s voice has a deep reservoir of emotion. She switches from remorseful to rejoiceful, however, with “Put Me In” an upbeat, energetic and inspirational tune with catchy pop chorus. Lots of talent and potential here.
