Omschrijving

Alternative, alternative folk, indie-rock.

On Could Have Done Anything, the follow-up to her acclaimed 2021 album Highs in the Minuses, Canadian songwriter Charlotte Cornfield spends 30 minutes reflecting on a lifetime’s worth of memories. Pulling influence and inspiration from Tapestry and Car Wheels On a Gravel Road, Cornfield has a distinctive lyrical approach that stands alone in the contemporary folk-rock sphere. A song like “Cut and Dry” tenderly pairs a timeless instrumental with a nostalgic reflection on leaving people behind and growing up.

Ever since Cornfield released Two Horses in 2011, she has been painting beautiful portraits around the melancholy and joy of leaving and returning. Her work, it’s emotional, poised and alive. She takes the smallest moments and finds everlasting beauty within the margins of her own musings. Written and recorded post-lockdown, Could Have Done Anything arrives like a second coming-of-age. Few songwriters can fuse such clear-eyed love songs with engrossing, vivid moments of loneliness, geographical beauty and gratitude.

Thankfully, Cornfield continues to open up her world to the rest of us, and it’s a gift every time.
