Elizabeth Cook’s new album Aftermath

From heartbreak to addiction and death, Elizabeth Cook’s newest album Aftermath deals with all the emotional turmoil in life. The twelve song compilation is Elizabeth’s seventh album. 

Of the album, Cook reflects, “This is the first time that I’ve been completely unchained, really. I wasn’t in an oppressive relationship, I wasn’t trying to meet some sort of label’s expectation, I wasn’t trying to meet some sort of market expectations. And that’s the way I wanna do it, or not at all.”

Aftermath Track List

Brandy Clark’s new song “Like Mine” 

Reflecting on the song, Clark shares, “‘Like Mine’ has multilayered meanings for me. It emanated from a conversation with my godson, that rolled into a conversation with co-writers about humanity and the world, that took shape as this song.” 

Written by Clark, Luke Dick, Jessie Jo Dillon and Laura Veltz, “Like Mine” is the second song Clark and Carlile created amid the COVID-19 pandemic while working from their respective quarantines. Their first collaboration, “Same Devil,” performed by Clark and both featuring and produced by Carlile, premiered last week to critical acclaim.

I really need to leave this session,’” she told Rolling Ston in May. “So I got back to their house being really frustrated, like, ‘Why can’t girls talk about boys in that way, because I feel that way.’ One bottle of red wine later, we all sussed it out.”
