Album Notes & Community Reviews

Compiled as a stop-gap release following the massive success of 'My Woman', this project curates rare B-sides, early demos, and lo-fi covers spanning the songwriter's early career. The record beautifully captures the stark, unpolished intimacy of her earliest home recordings, heavily relying on sparse acoustic guitar and her warbling, timeless vibrato. It acts as a crucial, stripped-down document of her artistic evolution.
