Heather Smith’s debut album will certainly inspire a lot of listeners out there. Both for its musical material – incredibly relatable and vibrant – and for its overall mission. You see, the American songstress takes the plunge into the music industry at 51, an age that many would consider too late for starting an artistic project. Why would it be? Who decided it? Truth is, no matter who you are, good music is good music, and Heather has certainly a gift for country-style songwriting.
Having in fact written music since a young age, Smith never quite felt bold enough to sing in front of a crowd or to share her material with a wider audience. Well, now she is ready, fiercely so. ‘Stronger’ is her debut effort, an album that’s as personal as it is catchy and universal. While the general theming is rather introspective and focused on Heather‘s personal journey, it is also potentially empowering for a lot of peeps out there.
Among a sea of classic country and Americana matter – be it acoustic or electric-powered – Smith showcases her gentle, evocative vocals, slowly accompanying the listeners through ‘Stronger’s carefully crafted gems. As she explains: “No matter where you are right now, you CAN get to where you want to be. It starts with one tiny, manageable step in the direction of your wildest dreams. Then another. And another. I’ll be right behind you!”.
