It's ironic that Christine said in the CBS interview how she got goosebumps when she first heard Stevie and Lindsey's background vocals on Say You Love Me. Ironic because that pleasure she got from hearing them for the first time is the same way we fans feel when she provides background vocals, and sadly, that is missing from the new album. Yes, a few songs have the trademark harmonies, but how much better the songs would have been if they all had them.
Just odd and disappointing. It's like having Elton John play tambourine on a song instead of piano. Lindsey and Christine's voices are magic together and I just wish more of the album reflected that.
