American singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile released her amorous EP last week just in time for Valentine’s Day. Carlile’s alternative country style incorporates both speckled guitar lines and broad strumming as she croons over the mic in an attempt to swoon her listener.

An up-tempo rendition of  “All You Need is Love” gives the track a jaunty feel, but it remains true to the original version, which would make the Beatles proud.

Carlile also covers Bryan Adams’ love anthem “Heaven.” She retains the loving tone of the song, even without the thundering drums and skyrocketing guitars present in the original version.

Carlile is able to combine her soft-rock vocals with alternative country instrumentation to create a magical soundscape. The interweaving guitar licks and violin harmonies bring the listener out of the chaotic 21st century and back to simpler times.
