Check out the first single, title track The Starter Wife on Spotify!

“The Starter Wife” opens on edgy guitars, at once poignant and melancholic, riding low-slung drums and a thick bassline. Vaguely reminiscent of Joni Mitchell blended with 4 Non Blondes, the harmonics exude raw emotional colors and aching tones latent with visible disturbance. Powell’s sensitive voice drips with passion, revealing hints of grief, weariness, regret, and unfulfilled longing, imbuing the lyrics with a plexus of immediate haunting savors, like the corpse of a cloud. Simultaneously visceral and moving, “The Starter Wife” delivers an unbridled exhibition of the complexities of love’s causes and effects.
