English singer-songwriter Lucy Kitchen lost her husband in 2022 and the grief, hurt and fond memories about their relationship all found their way unto her new album, In the Low Light. Folk music is all about storytelling and besides that genre that peaked in the late 60s and early 70s Kitchen also sneaked in a bit of country (In My Corner) and blues (Blue Light).
Daydreaming and writing and recording music are her go-to safe spaces right now. Anyone who has lost a loved one to cancer can relate to her Chemo Song, a last ditch cure to beat the disease that doesn't come with a guarantee that it will do the trick. Kitchen does not sugarcoat things, letting the words speak for themselves. Backed by her band that never gets in the way of her lyrics In the Low Light's journey through wide array of emotions is pretty intense, but also rewarding and comforting.
