Back In Stock

Veronica Swift flips the script on This Bitter Earth, the captivating follow-up to her 2019 debut, Confessions. Whereas Confessions played out like pages from her personal diary, on the new album, the 27-year-old singer and master song interpreter looks outward while addressing social ills that plague the world today. This Bitter Earth takes on the song-cycle characteristics of such classic LPs as Marvin Gaye's Whats Going On, Kate Bush's Hounds of Love, and Mary J. Blige's My Life. For her album, Swift tackles sexism How Lovely to Be a Woman, domestic abuse He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss), racism and xenophobia You've Got to Be Carefully Taught and the dangers of fake news The Sports Page.

Accompanied by a team of kindred spirts that includes pianist Emmet Cohen, guitarist Armand Hirsch and flutist Aaron Johnson, bassist Yasushi Nakamura and drummer Bryan Carter, Swift curates material that covers multiple genres, including jazz, vintage R&amp;B and contemporary rock.
