Review: Cassandra Jenkins solidifies her place among the elite songwriters with My Light, My Destroyer, an album that marks an exciting evolution in her artistry. Drawing comparisons to luminaries like David Berman and Sufjan Stevens, Jenkins delivers precise, evocative songwriting infused with humor and brutal honesty. The album expands on Jenkins' signature style, incorporating field recordings and found sound to create complex sonic landscapes. Jenkins' vocals, reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens and Annie Lennox, are up close and intimate yet subtly confrontational, commanding attention with their power-whisper delivery. Exploring themes of disillusionment and focused observation, tracks like 'Devotion,' 'Delphinium Blue,' and 'Only One' offer poignant reflections on the human experience. Jenkins embraces disillusionment as a process of discovery, celebrating the freedom found in letting go of expectations.
