Christina Perri adds her effective sentimentality to the title track, mirroring Stirling's soul with lines like "There's some things I should have said/I was too afraid/It was just so hard to let you know/Now it's all too late." From there, Stirling enters "The Arena" to get dirty with her demons, before rising from the ashes on the explosive "The Phoenix," which is what one might imagine if Nero hired a classical violinist. From there, a handful of guests assist in conveying Stirling's thoughts. The ethereal "Lost Girls" cleanses Stirling's confusion with a Celtic raver. Each song is a step through the processing of pain, an emotional roller coaster that finds Stirling on a journey to face the darkness and find a way to carry on. On Brave Enough, Stirling taps into a deep well of pain - inspired by her own emotional maturity and the death of her best friend and keyboardist, Jason Gaviati, in November 2015 - and the result is an organic interplay between her instrument and digital beats that focuses more on pleasant rhythms than dubstep muscle. Her first two efforts - thrilling collisions of violin acrobatics and electronic embellishment - were novel, but there was something missing to that new age dubstep. Lindsey Stirling's third album, Brave Enough, is where her crossover sound falls nicely into place. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs.
