Album Notes & Community Reviews

On her third studio effort, the acclaimed American songwriter subtly shifts her focus away from overt political commentary towards more introspective themes of love, vulnerability, and personal growth. 'Matters of the Heart' features polished, acoustic-driven instrumentation backed by session veterans from the alternative rock and folk worlds. The recording showcases her unmistakable, resonant contralto and earnest melodic sensibilities.
