“After listening to ‘Wonderland,’ it’s obviously that this is true. Barth’s songs are all exquisitely constructed, with lush guitar interludes and gorgeous synth washes and just the right hooks to make them instantly hummable and impossible to get out of your head. Barth’s vocals are pitch-perfect lovely, pleasant and poppy with just a touch of melancholy.
In many ways, “Wonderland” is a reflection of Barth’s own struggles to get a toehold in the Hollywood dream. On the surface, the album is a wonderful collection of pleasant-sounding pop songs, with Susan Barth’s distinctively sweet yet edgy vocals being the focal point. When you dig a little deeper, though, you find yourself smack dab in the middle of a story about disillusionment.”
