Description

LPs most personal offering to date, Heart to Mouth lives up to its name with the kind of unbridled, unfiltered, and undeniable songcraft that cemented her as a fan favorite. Of the record, she said, When I get on the mic and start doing melodies, I can feel that direct line from my heart to my mouth. In the past, there was a city full of streets that needed my attention. Now, I feel like I have a major highway to communicate emotion from. Whether theyre sadder songs or big anthems, they all come from the same place.

Lead single Recovery features a sparse production by Mike Del Rio (X Ambassadors, Kylie Minogue, POWERS) and illuminates the honesty at the records core. Upheld by stark and stripped piano, slow burning and bold verses catch fire on the confessional, yet catchy refrain, Cant you see? Im in recovery. The single arrives hot on the heels of runaway hit, Girls Go Wild which Billboard praised for how it soundtracks a westward-bound trip between two partners in a relationship standing on its last legs.

The two tracks only represent two shades of Heart to Mouths kaleidoscopic wonder. House on Fire hinges on show-stopping theatrical-style delivery rife with raw power, while Die For Your Love borders on blues and dance all at once with its tribal percussion and sweeping refrain. Meanwhile, the stirring Special leaves a breathless final word.
