For the Roses
A transitional masterpiece of open-tuned guitars, woodwinds, and intimate piano, balancing raw isolation with sophisticated, jazz-leaning arrangements.

Quiet retreat
Cold, wet cedar and the quiet hum of a cabin piano replace the bright lights of fame. These songs breathe through open-tuned acoustic guitars and sudden, sharp woodwind flutters. You are sitting right beside her in the quiet, listening to the transition from stark folk intimacy into the first loose, smoky shapes of jazz.
The record retreats into a rustic cabin in woods atmosphere, where the quiet isolation of the British Columbia coast directly shapes the introspective, sea-weathered character of the songwriting.
The album was warmly received by critics, who widely praised its rich, poetic lyrics and the delicate integration of jazz-folk instrumentation. Still, some reviewers found the intricate melodies to be less immediate and more calculated than her previous work, leading to a generally positive but not entirely unanimous reception.
