Carter Faith - Let Love Be Love (2021)

Listening to Carter Faith’s debut EP, one gets the sense that the emerging country singer-songwriter is wise beyond her two decades and change. The Nashville-based, North Carolina-bred artist writes about the trappings of youth (see: the catchy, anti-drama anthem “Buzzkilla”), but she does so with more thoughtfulness than many of her peers—with clever, personal lyrics reminiscent of early Kacey Musgraves and contemporaries like Kalie Shorr. “I really want people to sit down with my EP and almost transport into a better world,” she tells Apple Music. “A world where life is more simple, more beautiful, more unapologetic. I would hope all music does that, but I just want people to feel like my music can be an escape to that world of peace and joy and beauty.” Below, Faith walks Apple Music through Let Love Be Love.
