Review by Gail Tracy

Am I That Easy To Forget? – Esther Phillips Serves Up a Blues Masterclass Alright, buckle up, because Esther Phillips’ Am I That Easy To Forget is one of those albums that smacks you in the face with raw emotion and doesn’t let go. Released in 2013 by Jasmine Records outta the UK, this collection dives deep into blues roots while keeping its rhythm & blues swagger intact. It’s gritty, unapologetic, and feels like someone poured their soul straight onto vinyl. The tracklist? Insane. Thirty tracks packed with heartbreak, sass, and fire. But two songs stand out so hard they’ll be stuck in your head for days: “Turn The Lamps Down Low” and “I’m A Bad, Bad Girl.” First off, “Turn The Lamps Down Low.” Damn. This tune grabs you by the collar and whispers dirty secrets right into your ear. Esther’s voice here? Pure velvet over steel. She slides through the melody like she owns it, painting pictures of late-night longing and whispered promises. You can practically smell the cigarette smoke hanging heavy in the air. It’s sultry as hell, but there’s also this ache underneath—a loneliness you can’t shake no matter how low you turn those damn lamps. By the time the last note fades, you’re either reaching for the bourbon or staring at your phone debating whether to text your ex. Yeah, it hits THAT hard. Then there’s “I’m A Bad, Bad Girl,” which slaps harder than an insult from a jealous lover. If you’ve ever wanted to strut down the street flipping everyone off, this is your anthem. Esther belts out lines about being untamed and unbothered, owning every inch of her wild side. Her delivery is sharp enough to cut glass, full of attitude and zero fucks given. Listening to this feels like watching a femme fatale tear apart some poor fool who thought he could tame her. Spoiler alert: He couldn’t. Every drumbeat punches harder than the last, driving home just how badass Phillips really was. Now, don’t get me wrong—this ain’t all smooth sailing. With thirty tracks, yeah, it drags in spots. Some songs blend together like lukewarm coffee after sitting too long. But when it works, holy crap does it work. Esther wasn’t just singing; she was living these tunes. You feel her pain, her joy, her defiance—it’s all laid bare without any sugarcoating. So what’s the takeaway? Maybe it’s that music like this doesn’t come around often anymore. In a world obsessed with playlists and TikTok hits, Esther Phillips reminds us why old-school blues still matters. Or maybe it’s simpler: Sometimes we need someone to scream our frustrations louder than we can ourselves. Either way, listening to Am I That Easy To Forget feels less like hearing an album and more like surviving a hurricane. And honestly? We could use more storms like this one. Final thought: Screw perfection. Real art leaves scars.
