Whereas Veronica Swift”s 2019 Mack Avenue Records debut, Confessions, contained songs that played out like pages from her personal diary, on the captivating follow-up, This Bitter Earth, she flips by crafting an ingenious song cycle that tackles sexism (“”How Lovely to Be a Woman””), domestic abuse (“”He Hit Me””), environmental issues, racism, xenophobia (“”You Have To Be Carefully Taught””), and the dangers of fake news (“”The Sports Page””). The singer-songwriter gathered material that covers multiple genres, including jazz, American musicals, and contemporary indie-rock fortifying her position as a leading force in genre-bending song presentation.
