Kira Metcalf’s debut album embraces subjects that are very prevalent in our present day existence. Songs like “All Good Things,” “Please Don’t,” “Ready to Spill,” and “An Exercise” tackle topics such as toxicity in masculinity, contradictions of sexuality, grief, love, and personal relationships and are all embraced with emotional honesty and thoughtfulness. Accompanying herself on guitar, Kira’s backed by proficient musicians who keep it tight and rock hard. Metcalf’s nuanced vocal range throughout sounds effortless, and powerful, but never overwrought. Kira Metcalf turns the messiness of being human into something fierce, funny, and deeply relatable—a soundtrack for surviving yourself.
