Empathy can sometimes be a superhuman power; it can connect you so deeply with people, and that bond brings an acute level of trust and love that can sometimes be unparalleled. However, with the energy and emotion transferred into that moment, that feeling can come with a fragility that walks a tightrope. When you can majestically dance along that line, it looks mesmerising to all, but the falls can really hurt. So on the title track of Beth Hart’s new album, You Still Got Me, when she sings “He asked me if I need a hug, I said I got nothin’ inside left to love and then he said, But baby ya still got, baby you still got me,” you feel it.
Note: The LP is initially available on limited-edition red vinyl.
