Linda Perry In Flight
- Kill Rock Stars
- RSD First
- 1100
There's an old saying that goes something like "if you love something, set it free; if it comes back, it's yours." That's the sentiment behind In Flight. Consider it the long-lost Linda Perry album. Written and recorded in 1995, it was quietly released and neglected the following year. In Flight has now returned for you to take in and make its splendor yours and lets you get to know Linda Perry as, well, Linda Perry. Sure, we all know her musical history as well as her production work, but In Flight represents the heart and soul of who Linda is. It's a deep and endearing recording that with each subsequent listening reveals something you might have missed the first time around. Really...go ahead and give it a couple listens and see for yourself.
