Today, Caroline Kingsbury shares her long-awaited 'Heaven's Just A Flight' LP.
Today, Caroline Kingsbury shares her long-awaited Heaven's Just A Flight LP, out now on Fortune Tellers Records. FLAUNT premiered the LP alongside the music video for "Kissing Someone Else," praising the album as "an honest retelling of her life."
This Caroline Kingsbury record is so close to a massive pop album, the kind you hear out on Republic Records with hundreds of thousands of dollars sunk into it so that it blasts out your speakers absolutely perfectly, the kind of inescapable music you hear taking over the airwaves and internet. And yet, it's something else entirely. It's the story of a young artist begging, borrowing and stealing to just get her voice heard, and of all the desperation and hard days cutting through.With each song you can actually hear a young kid who moved from Florida writing in her bedroom and starting out on her own in her cheap Hollywood apartment. You are right alongside her chasing those massive pop sounds, going to work day after day at the local grocery, and going on tour with a band for the first time. Feel her tenacity waver as she gets stuck in a sleazy contract, as her agent leaves her, and as her first serious relationship falls apart. The record lands in this strange place that is really like the sound of our own dreams. It takes you right there with her. It's not so shiny, not so escapist anymore. Sometimes it's really hard. Sometimes it's broken. Sometimes dreams don't come true but we keep trying.
