Valerie’s 2022 album The Moon and Stars was an absolute delight so when this album flew past on our social media feed it caused great excitement. She pushes her beautiful sophisticated voice in new directions on this album, offering up a palette of Americana albeit with contemporary production cues (the producer is one of our favourites M Ward). What’s really delightful is that she avoids the cliché of despair at the world and offers “a radical statement to break scepticism, surveillance and doomscrolling” (from The Guardian).
