“The Void is at its most powerful when it’s sifting through the emotional fallout of relationships coming unraveled and trauma passed down from parent to child.”

“the sort of bluesy sway Robert Plant and Alison Krauss lock into with their take on Randy Weeks’ ‘Can’tLet Go,” from Lucinda Williams Americana masterpiece, Car Wheels On A Gravel Road.”
About “Cologne”

“With its lush, sweeping harmonies, sugary '90s pop gloss and crunching backbeat, the swampy country funk of 'Maybe I'm the Villain' is a bold statement of intent that sounds like All Saints recording with The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section.”

“For the much anticipated follow up to her critically acclaimed debut, Mad Twenties, Taylor Rae turns her attentions inwards with a collection of the most personal songs of her career as she celebrates the contradictory and complementary parts of the human experience, exploring life's dark corners—from breakups to intergenerational trauma-set to a bubbling pot of alt-pop tinged americana and modern dayfolk.”

“Her storytelling and lyrical depth are the highlights of the album. Set against a backdrop of smooth analog Americana guitar riffs and mellow bass lines, Rae takes listeners on a journey of constant motion—playing back-to-back shows, sleeping in unfamiliar towns, and longing for someone who feels like home, even when you don’t know when you’ll see them next.”
