Loose Future
The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter teams up with producer Sam Evian for an assured, exploratory, and warm record that mirrors a newly opened heart.
Loose Future's lush wildness is where Courtney Marie Andrews sounds her best, particularly in the woody, rugged, unfettered moments when she admits to her vulnerabilities
Given that two of Courtney Marie Andrews' best and most celebrated albums, 2016's Honest Life and 2020's Old Flowers, were written in the wake of painful romantic breakups and made the hurt and sense of loss real and vivid, it's tempting to wonder if similar thoughts crossed her mind, and if she ever contemplated getting involved with someone wrong for her just for the sake of inspiration.
Having returned to the UK last year to treat audiences to performances from her Grammy-nominated album Old Flowers, Phoenix songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews has wasted no time coming up with Loose Future, a characteristically confident follow-up.
Like a weighted blanket on a chilly autumn evening, Courtney Marie Andrews’ voice offers irresistible, tangible warmth and comfort to any who will listen.
