Music Review: Katy Kirby sings a sweet ode to her first queer relationship in ‘Blue Raspberry’

Brooklyn-based indie singer-songwriter Katy Kirby has returned for her second studio album, “Blue Raspberry,” chronicling new discoveries in her first queer relationship. Known for her crystal-clear, lilting vocals, Kirby first started singing at evangelical worship services in her small Texas hometown before moving to Nashville, where she began writing music and recorded two albums. On “Blue Raspberry,” Kirby takes her time with each track, slowing down from her first album, the more playful sounding “Cool Dry Place."
