Album Review: Joanna Sternberg - I've Got Me

Album Review: Joanna Sternberg - I've Got Me

“This is the ultimate power of I’ve Got Me: the majority of songs here focus on negative experiences, but the feeling coming out the other end of listening to it is one of uplift and renewed resolve to make something of one’s life. It’s what makes the album sound both modern and timeless, and is sure to earn legions of quiet listeners lost among the bustle of the daily grind, hearing themselves in Sternberg’s words.”

One of my absolutey favourite albums of the year is the latest from Joanna Sternberg. My full thoughts on their new album I’ve Got Me are over here.
