Americana UK Reviews Blair Borax's New Album "Tender Lately"

“It seems almost mandatory to mention an artist from Oregon’s Portland every month and here it’s Blair Borax who, on ‘Tender Lately’, cleaves to the folkier side of the Portland Community. If you can consider her midway between Anna Tivel and Kassi Valazza that might give you an indication of how she sounds although we’d also toss in Alela Diane for comparison. Anyhow, Borax has a delightful voice which seems full of innocent delight, there’s a moment on the best song here, ‘A Wink Or Worse’ where she positively yelps. That song hovers around the hazy psychedelia which permeated Valazza’s last album but songs such as ‘Tender Lately‘ and ‘Bootstrap’s are very impressive while, once again, the album ends on a high note with ‘Who Cares’ which shoehorns all of Ms. Borax’s talent into one very likeable song.”
