How the Music Critic Score works
Buy Optimism from Amazon
Jana Horn details the part and parcel of being in a committed relationship on Optimism. As she implies in the album's title, the Austin, Texas singer-songwriter tempers her expectations and desires with a healthy sense of caution. Sometimes her words are piercing: "No time will tell my stories/When your mind's made up," she sings on Time Capsule, sung in a calm voice and even calmer acoustic guitar strum.
