‘Santa Ana,’ a gut-wrenching, no-holds-barred relationship postmortem, is Lyric Adair’s best album yet
by Andre Ruiz forRolling Stone
published on October 31
The Santa Ana winds are commonly believed to affect people’s moods and behaviors. Like its namesake,Santa Ana,the highly anticipated sixth studio album from pop superstar Lyric Adair that released on October 26, is wild, temperamental, melancholic, and at times even wrathful, vacillating between euphoria and desperation, perfectly capturing the storm of emotions that accompanies the end of an intense relationship.
Make no mistake, this is a breakup album. The title track “Santa Ana” is a manic-depressive roller coaster, at times melodic and at others near histrionic, featuring a back track of a flatlining heart monitor. It is sonically and lyrically a push-pull that begs the question of the listener—is the opposite of love hate? Or is it indifference?
Adair’s lyricism shines on tracks like “Psyche,” a siren-song-like ballad, and “Ember,” a veritable dirge that explores the idea of trying to resuscitate a relationship you know is dead, while “A Minute to Midnight” reigns supreme as a powerhouse punch-you-in-the-gut heartbreak anthem demonstrating the star’s growth and range as a vocalist.
Despite what it sounds like, the album isn’t all doom and gloom and rage. “Silver Lining,” the final track on the album, is a dreamy, hopeful, lullaby-like invocation, closing the door on this chapter of Adair’s life, not with a slam but with a gentle, reverent snick.
Adair’s last album,TL;DR,released a little over two years ago and in that time Adair has undergone several life changes. Recently, Adairconfirmed her relationship with Portland Pathfinders’ quarterback, Cash Curran, making their public debut as a couple at the World Music Awards.

All’s fair in love and war and music: Lyric Adair spurns ex-boyfriend on her new album,Santa Ana

If there’s one thing Lyric Adair is great at, it’s transforming heartbreak into art... and raking her exes through the mud in the process.
Santa Ana, Adair’s sixth album, released on Friday to much fanfare. But not everyone’s loving the new album.
A source close to Ansel Daily, drummer for the Domestic Noir Plot, and Adair’s ex-boyfriend, toldNotoriety Magazinethat, “Ansel’s really hurt, honestly. He doesn’t think it’s fair that the whole world only gets Lyric’s side of the story and accepts it as gospel truth. There was a lot of love between them. Just because their relationship ended doesn’t give her any right to slander him in her songs and make him out to be some kind of villain. She’s just as much to blame for their breakup as he is.”
Both Adair and Daily were tight-lipped following their breakup earlier this year, but rumors abounded that the reason behind their split was the latter’s infidelity, which Adair references on tracks “A Minute to Midnight” and “Go with Grace.”
