Our Take

Ah, Natalie Merchant. The goddess of 90s folk-pop has returned with her latest album, "Keep Your Courage." A collection of songs that transport you back to a time when flannel shirts and Doc Martens ruled the world.

Merchant's haunting vocals are as mesmerising as ever, drawing you in with each heartfelt lyric. The opening track, "Brave and True," sets the tone for the album with its nostalgic melodies and introspective lyrics. It's like a warm hug from an old friend you haven't seen in years.

"Courageous Heart" is a standout track, showcasing Merchant's vulnerability and strength in equal measure. The stripped-back production allows her voice to soar, capturing the raw emotion of the song effortlessly.

Throughout the album, Merchant delves into themes of love, loss, and self-discovery with her signature poetic lyricism. Each song feels like a personal diary entry, inviting the listener to share in her journey.

"Keep Your Courage" is a testament to Merchant's enduring talent and artistry. It's a reminder that good music doesn't have an expiration date, and neither does she. So put on your flannel shirt, lace up those Doc Martens, and let Natalie Merchant take you on a journey through time and space. You won't regret it.
