When Erin Rae started dropping singles from Lighten Up, I’d check in on streaming every few days just to see if a new one had come out — and it was largely because I could not get the album’s “Modern Woman” out of my head. (It still catches in my brain and I find myself humming it constantly.) I didn’t want to dig the earworm out necessarily, I wanted to know what else was crawling in with it. As it turns out, the rest of the record is just as worthy of taking residence in the old noodle.
