  The Daily Vault Album Reviews : Lovesongs For Underdogs
Twelve songs and 45 minutes later, it was crystal clear that Donelly is a much more solid artist when she is on her own; Lovesongs For Underdogs is a surprisingly good release, and one of the best I've heard this year.
However, on Lovesongs For Underdogs it works to Donelly's advantage, so when she goes to a slightly different style, you tend to appreciate it even more.
Lovesongs For Underdogs is a reminder of the power alternative music was supposed to have before it was designated the flavor of the month.

 Tanya Donelly : Lovesongs for Underdogs (Japan) - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Tanya Donelly's artistic sensibilities were at the very core of Belly, which is why it was a bit of a surprise when she suddenly disbanded the group after its second album flopped.
Upon listening to her 1997 debut, Lovesongs for Underdogs, it becomes clear that Belly wasn't suited for these songs.
Lovesongs for Underdogs is a pretty, pleasant collection of pop-folk songs; Belly would have overwhelmed these songs, delivering them with too much backbeat.

 The Ectophiles' Guide to Good Music - Tanya Donelly   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The first Belly record remains for me THE definitive Tanya and compared to that, Lovesongs for Underdogs is a bit of a disappointment.
Successive listenings are helping it grow on me. It's the sign of an artist staking out mature ground, and some of it's definitely lovely, but I miss the brash and jagged pop of her work with Throwing Muses and Belly.
I was terribly addicted to Lovesongs for Underdogs when it came out.

When I stumbled on Rob Ryan's "Underdogs" I wasn't sure whether I would enjoy the book.
'Underdogs shows Ryan...utilising a fascinating setting with real aplomb and delivering something of a treat' The Times"Brilliantly realised" GQ Magazine"A wonderfully exhilarating novel, combining a cinematic narrative drive with winning characters...and a brilliantly imagined dreamlike subterranean landscape" Sunday Times"Fantastic, head-spinning, surreal and hilarious by turns" Guardian"A hardboiled tour-de-force" Independent on Sunday"Cracking" Daily Telegraph
I was guided to this book by some of the reviews in the national press.

 The Thresher Online: Donelly's lackluster `Lovesongs' drowns in emotions (October 17, 1997)
Donelly's new solo album, Lovesongs for Underdogs, is her first musical effort since the dissolution of Belly.
Four years ago, Donelly, the co-founder of both the Throwing Muses and the Breeders, struck out on her own as the lead singer of Belly, an eerie, brilliant quartet.
Lovesongs is instead a series of dialogues with a distant and unsympathetic personality: "I live underwater and you live on the moon / You can't breath around me and I can't breath around you."

 The Michigan Daily Online
The first single, "Pretty Deep," off "Lovesongs For Underdogs" is a perky alterna-pop tidbit that strums and thrums along regardless of its lyrical discoveries.
Nearly every song on "Lovesongs For Underdogs" confesses feelings of misguidance or ignorance of the truth in some manner.
"Lovesongs For Underdogs" satisfies and spins yarns that swoon and swell around swirling spells of velvety mellowness.

 the loud bassoon online zine - records: tanya donelly - lovesongs for underdogs
Tanya Donelly's Lovesongs For Underdogs continues where Belly left off, and may in fact be her best work yet.
One of the best albums released in 1997, Lovesongs For Underdogs deserves some of the attention from the record buying public that hangs on to the idea that Paula Cole and Jewel are any good.
In a musical climate where homogenous is the rule, Tanya Donelly is definitely a goat girl "kicking up tin cans." She is a reminder that as cool as VH-1 appears to get, the mainstream will always lack flavors that are too spicy.

 Tanya Donelly: Storyboard to the singer/songwriter's career   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
And if that ain't paradox enough - for someone who's recently plighted her troth, Lovesongs For Underdogs is pretty down on the concept of lovin' it up.
Donelly has this neat trick of writing beautifully anguished songs on the folly of falling in love and combining them with headrush guitars and gleeful memories, as on 'Pretty Deep' and 'Landspeed Song'.
While the outcome is as oddly life-affirming as Lovesongs such contradictions are likely to remain welcome.

Es ist schon interessant, TANYA DONELLYs Entwicklung als Songschreiberin von hier aus zurückzuverfolgen: von den noch ungelenken Anfängen bei den THROWING MUSES über die BREADERS (die immer mehr Kim Deals Band waren) bis zum vielversprechenden Debüt ihrer ersten wirklich eigenen Band BELLY und seinem kaum beachteten, seltsam desorientierten Nachfolger endlich zu diesem, ihrem ersten Solo-Abum.
"Lovesongs For Underdogs" ist das Werk einer deutlich gereiften Musikerin, die mit einer respektablen Bandbreite an Ideen, Stilen und z.

 Lycos Music
On her first solo effort, LOVESONGS FOR UNDERDOGS, Tanya Donelly makes it plain that she can still write smart pop music.
While quirky at times, LOVESONGS FOR UNDERDOGS refuses to be over-wrought with sentimentality.
Throughout the album, there are echoes of Donelly's former bands, Belly and Throwing Muses.

 Tanya Donelly, Texas Chainsaw Orchestra — Pop Stops for 10/9/97 by John Everson
And with each new band she played in, that style grew more focussed.
So it's no suprise that Lovesongs For Underdogs sounds like a perfect followup to Belly's last, King.
The waifish but powerful vocals are trademark, the warmly anthemic, bashfully chiming guitars also easily familiar and the songs — as always, catchy and elliptical.

 Tanya Donelly: Lovesongs For Underdogs: Pitchfork Record Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Easily the most difficult thing I've had to accept all year long was the fact that, after years of denying it, I love Tanya Donelly.
So it's not surprising that she takes that point home with Lovesongs.
Donelly still comes off a bit cutesy, which can get somewhat irritating, but her insights and pop songs show the maturity of writers like Leonard Cohen and Elvis Costello.
