Bare

A stark, minimalist portrait of midlife heartbreak. Lennox strips away the theatrical artifice for eleven tracks of digital soul and unflinching self-examination.

A profound, quiet dignity found within the wreckage of a broken heart.

Moments Worth Listening For
The devastatingly sparse piano and vocal interplay on the closing track Oh God (Prayer) where the production almost disappears.
The rhythmic, mechanical pulse of Pavement Cracks that feels like a lonely walk through a cold metropolitan center.
The sudden, lush orchestral swell in A Thousand Beautiful Things that provides a rare moment of sonic light.
