Belly
Tanya Donelly, the talented singer-songwriter who fronted Belly in its mid-‘90s alt-rock heyday, spent most of the intervening decades exploring motherhood and her own musical muses, kicking out a library’s worth of gorgeous solo material. Dove, the band’s reunion album and its first since 1996’s King, owes more to that solo work than the fuzzy, guitar-heavy sound that defined Donelly’s time with Throwing Muses and the Breeders, but that’s not a bad thing at all: Her songwriting — and her beautiful voice — are as emotionally sharp as they’ve ever been.
