Perhaps it was rediscovering the cathartic qualities of cascading power chords with her new band, 50 Foot Wave, or simply a concerted effort to make something more memorable, but Learn to Sing Like a Star is both a triumphant return to the ragged beauty of her earlier work and a willful expansion of her palette. As introspective as ever, but never self-pitying, Hersh delivers lines like "Getting up is what hurts" with a fresh sense of conviction that hints at an artist getting ready to hit a second high-water mark.
