The Billie Burke Estate’s second full-length, “Let Your Heart Break,†is a curious collection of charming pop tunes. There’s nothing offensive or edgy here–much like ‘70s AM radio (think: Elton John or Randy Newman), the focus is on piano-based hooks and toe-tapping, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. “Everybody’s Gonna Die,†despite it’s heavy title, is my favorite track on this light album. It recalls The Beatles’ “You Won’t See Me,†with a crispy chorus eased between sing-song verses. This is a well-produced, clean and clear record. In a world where so much is heavy and dark, it’s nice to know that Billie Burke Estate is producing good old-fashioned pop music.
