Faye Webster – Atlanta Millionaires Club

Faye Webster has released her sophomore album, bending genres and creating a project with a unique blend of folk, R&B, and everything in between. The album opens with a twangy track titled Room Temperature, where Webster states constantly, “I should get out more”. This pseudo-folk sound carries into the rest of the album, giving one the impression that if Stevie Knicks were to make music in 2019, it would sound similar to Atlanta Millionaires Club. Pigeon has vocals and a bassline that truly show the R&B influence that Webster has so often cited, accompanied, of course, by twangy guitars and melodic keys. This is a deeply personal album, with Webster covering topics ranging from breakups, seeing her dad cry, and longing for a lover that’s miles away. No song embodies this as much as Jonny, where she discusses how she’s lonely, her dog is her best friend, and how she questions if her ex ever really loved her. Flowers features ethereal vocals from Webster, and an oddly placed feature from the founder of Awful Records, and fellow Atlanta native, Father. This album is beautiful, emotional, and perfect for a rainy day or getting through a breakup.
