Secret City Records release Basia Bulat's latest LP, Are You in Love? Bulat is a three-time Polaris Music Prize finalist and has been nominated for three Juno Awards...

The opener, the titular 'Are You in Love?' kicks this album off on the right foot, with Basia Bulat's unmistakable vocals and and a string orchestra backing that takes this up a notch.

As the album rattles on Bulat wonderfully changes tempo and style to keep the listener on their toes. The upbeat, 'Your Girl' is followed by the folk-esque vibe of 'Light Years', which in turn is followed by the retro rock 'n' roll sensibilities of 'Homesick'.

Are You in Love? is a warm and comfy album that you will want to return to time and time again.
