"Close the Door" is the upbeat sophomore effort from contemporary pop country artist Tracylyn. Tracylyn gives a powerful vocal performance with a country twang similar to vocalists such as Faith Hill and Martina McBride. Her backing band is sound and creates solid arrangements that incorporate the violin, piano, and steel guitar into nearly every track complimenting Tracylyn's vocals quite well. The songs are generally up-tempo and are about love, faith and small town life. The lyrics are memorable and the songs are all extremely catchy. The recording quality is very good with a polished vocal sound and clarity of each individual instrument. "Maybe I Made You Up" is a psychological song about falling in love, with a nice melody, a catchy chorus and some nice guitar work. The title track, "Close the Door" is the sole downtempo track on the album, a slow piano ballad with powerful lyrics about a former significant other's "infidelity." Overall, "Close the Door" is a fun album with an impressive vocal performance from Tracylyn, true-to-life lyrics, and great arrangements. Fans of female vocalists and contemporary pop country won't "Close the Door" on Tracylyn.
