Sheryl Crow intended to retire from recording after the release of the star-studded purported farewell Threads, but life had other plans. Four years after Threads garnered some attention, Crow became part of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2023, an induction assisted by the release of the 2022 documentary Sheryl. All this activity was enough to send Crow back into the studio, this time in the company of Mike Elizondo, a producer whose credits run from 50 Cent and Eminem to Fiona Apple, Carrie Underwood, and Lin-Manuel Miranda. Elizondo encouraged Crow to embrace the shinier aspects of her persona, a shift evident from Evolution's ebullient opener "Alarm Clock." Coming across like a deliberate update of the chipper sunshine pop of C'mon C'Mon, "Alarm Clock" is hardly the only moment on Evolution to make a conscious nod to the singer/songwriter's past: "Do It Again" simmers to a slinky ramble reminiscent of "All I Wanna Do" and the pleading "Don't Walk Away" taps into the broken-hearted vein of "Strong Enough." The nifty trick of Evolution is that it never sounds as if Crow is succumbing to nostalgia. Rather, the record feels like she's settling into her skin. Filled with sunny hooks, busy rhymes, and relaxed rhythms, Evolution is a good time whose cheerfulness camouflages its vaguely deeper undercurrents. The vibe is familiar, but the sound is fresh and, better yet, Evolution isn't ponderous: it's brisk and bright, keeping its focus squarely on the gifts that brought Crow into the Hall of Fame.
