“Unbeautiful” is the title of the debut CD from recording artist Lesley Roy. Roy is a Irish native who recently signed her first record deal with Jive Records/Religion Music. The album “Unbeautiful” was recorded by Roy over a two year period. Lesley Roy is a very talented artist. I would describe her sound of music as a mix between Avril Lavigne and P!nk. It’s more rock than pop, which is a good thing since girl rock is on the rise with acts like Paramore and Flyleaf being well received.

The album opens with the song “I’m Gone, I’m Going.” This is a really great fast hard rocking song. “Here For You Now,” is another hard rocking song that opens with a memorable guitar solo. Roy’s voice sounds semi-raspy on this song. It’s a great song as well. “Slow Goodbye” is a slower song, but not quite a ballad. “Unbeautiful” highlights Roy’s deeper more raspy voice. “Psycho Bitch” is a really good song that would make a great single. “When I Look At You,” is a really great song. Another stand out track on the album is the ballad “Come To Your Senses.”

“Unbeautiful” is an excellent debut record from a really exciting new star. If you love females that rock you will definitely be a fan of the debut album from Lesley Roy.
