FEEL GOOD

Description

"I am still learning to feel joy, to be free, to be comfortable in my own skin," says Jaime Wyatt. "Many of us grow up feeling like we have to hide who we are just to be accepted, but that comes from a place of fear and judgment. I wrote these songs as a way to let go of all that, as a permission to feel good. Feel Good, Wyatt's extraordinary new album, is more than just a permission slip: it’s an invitation. Recorded with Adrian Quesada of Black Pumas, the record is bold and ecstatic, built on tight, intoxicating grooves that belie the substantial emotional stakes of the songs. Wyatt's writing is raw and intuitive here, tapping into the deep corners of her subconscious as she reckons with grief and growth, and her performance is visceral to match, cutting straight to the bone with as much sensitivity as bravado. Considered as a whole, the collection stands as a radical act of creative liberation from an artist already known for pushing boundaries, a work of healing and self-love that defies genres, tipping its hat to everyone from Al Green and Otis Redding to Waylon Jennings and Bobbie Gentry in its relentless quest for peace and pleasure."
