Step into the world of This Bitter Earth, an extraordinary jazz album by Veronica Swift. This captivating follow-up to her debut LP, Confessions, showcases Swift’s evolution as a musician and lyricist. While her first album was an intimate glimpse into her life, This Bitter Earth expands her vision, addressing pressing social issues that resonate today.
With influences from iconic LPs like Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On, This Bitter Earth is a powerful song cycle that touches on themes of sexism in ‘How Lovely to Be a Woman’, domestic abuse in ‘He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)’, racism in ‘You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught’, and the perils of misinformation in ‘The Sports Page’. Featuring a talented ensemble including pianist Emmet Cohen and guitarist Armand Hirschand, this album transcends genres, blending jazz, vintage R&B, and contemporary rock.
