Natalie Merchant Finds Light in Love
Singer-songwriter Natalie Merchant releases her new album "Keep Your Courage," which was inspired by her health crisis during the pandemic. The album features 10 tracks rooted in myth and legend, with some songs titled after cultural references such as "Come on, Aphrodite," "Narcissus," and "The Feast of Saint Valentine." Merchant's album is a de facto concept record that explores horn-driven soul, melancholy ballads, pure pop, and defiant sisterhood anthems. The album's last lines are "Love will conquer all."
