#21
Courtney Marie Andrews
| May Your Kindness Remain
Fat Possum/Mama Bird/Loose Music

According to Justin Chadwick: “Capitalizing on her newfound recognition, Andrews has wasted precious little time in issuing the follow-up to Honest Life, in the form of the recently released May Your Kindness Remain. And thankfully, even upon cursory listen (though repeated, attentive listens are recommended), the ten songs she has included here make good—and then some—on the promise of its precursor.

Beyond her soaring voice, which is unequivocally the star of the show once again, May Your Kindness Remain’s core strength lies within the timeless, universal relatability and empathy of Andrews’ thoughtfully constructed narratives, which have been informed by her interactions with others while touring the world.

Though the story of this master storyteller’s career is destined to continue evolving in exciting ways in the years (and albums) to come, May Your Kindness Remain offers convincing affirmation that persistence and passion can pay off for artists who have songs of substance to share with the world.”
