WHAT IT IS: In making her first full-length album, Bea Miller’s vision was clear. A singer/songwriter whose raspy vocals and sharp-edged pop have already earned her recognition as one of this year’s top artists to watch, her main ambition was to create songs that spoke the sometimes messy truth and helped others overcome their own hurt. Recorded over the last year—with time out for an autumn 2014 tour with Demi Lovato—the album finds Bea fulfilling her mission by infusing her punk spirit into impassioned pop songs with a fiercely uplifting power.
