Album Notes & Community Reviews

An incredibly expansive, introspective double album showcasing the fiercely independent songwriter at her most musically ambitious. The record utilizes a massive backing band, particularly a prominent horn section, to seamlessly weave complex jazz-pop arrangements with her signature percussive acoustic guitar and hyper-literate, anti-folk lyricism.

Genres

Descriptors: female-vocals, guitars, retro, political, dynamic
