“This is the most personal record I’ve ever made,” multi-Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Joan Osborne says about her ravishing new studio album, Nobody Owns You. “These songs come from my feelings about people in my family, about people who I care about, and just what to do with this time that we have on the earth. They come from a raw emotional place. And I’m asking myself that question: What am I here for?“ The result is a masterful collection of twelve contemplative songs offering hope and solace, while exploring Osborne’s own unique journey from small-town Kentucky to around the world.
The powerful album’s deeply melodic songcraft, including some co-writes with producer Ben Rice (Valerie June; Norah Jones), serves up a rich Americana sound. Her sumptuous alto and poetic lyrics are underpinned by rootsy textures, ranging from Rice’s banjo guitar, to Cindy Cashdollar’s lap steel, to Dave Sherman’s piano and Hammond organ, to Jack Petruzzelli’s baritone guitar.
