Album Notes & Community Reviews

An ambitious concept album, 'Scarlet's Walk' is a sprawling road trip across America in the shadow of the 9/11 attacks. The record is one of her most accessible, blending her signature intricate piano rock with a warm, soft-rock production. The songs trace the journey of the titular character, Scarlet, as she confronts personal and national histories, creating a rich, poetic, and deeply American narrative.
