AMATEUR

Description

Amateur, Molly Nilsson's twelfth studio album, marks an intimate and brilliant turning point in her career. Conceived quickly and instinctively, it overflows with emotional clarity and may well be her most accomplished work. True to her independence, Nilsson records at home, far from the cogs of the industry, writing with sincerity and disarming force. In 13 tracks, Amateur presents itself as a jubilee for the "losers," a fraternal hand extended in the face of the world's frenzy, inviting us to live with curiosity and authenticity. The songs are among the most personal and emblematic of her repertoire, such as the single How Much Is The World, which pushes us to question our values in a stifling neoliberal system. Behind her apparent melancholy, Nilsson asserts that living honestly and learning from one's mistakes constitutes an act of resistance against the oppressions of everyday life.
