Lindsay Lou’s sound and songwriting evolve, blending her strong bluegrass roots with progressive Americana and folk, informed by her life experiences. After a hallucinogenic ritual that helped her process grief from her grandmother’s passing and the end of her marriage, she embarked on a spiritual journey that shaped her new album, *Queen of Time*, set for release on September 29 from Kill Rock Stars. The album explores themes of womanhood and self-discovery across ten emotionally rich tracks.
Drawing connections between her grandmother and her own artistry, Lou reflects on her legacy as a selfless caregiver. Her powerful vocals serve as the centerpiece of the album, creating an infectious and joyful sound. Collaborating with notable musicians like Jerry Douglas and Billy Strings, Lou crafts songs that resonate with themes of resilience and introspection.
The lead single, “Queen of Time,” embodies the album’s exploration of self-discovery, while tracks like “On Your Side (Starman)” and “Nothing’s Working” highlight her lyrical depth and emotional honesty. Lou’s connection to her roots is further enriched by recorded conversations with her grandmother, which feature throughout the album.
With accolades from NPR and various festivals, Lindsay Lou showcases her unique artistry in *Queen of Time*, establishing herself as a vibrant and powerful voice in contemporary music.
