Katie Pruitt - Expectations (February 21, 2020) Album • Page 5

As well, her song with Donovan Woods “She waits for to come back down” from his album “Without People” is supposed to be our September 25 I think. Clip is on his Twitter

Looking forward to both songs.

 

Damn, what a song. She's so fucking good.

 

Yeah. Amazing song.

 

This album should have been a bigger deal than it was.

 

Agreed. Pretty sure this will finish in my top 3. Maybe even 2nd.

 

I’ve been saying since last October that it would probably be my album of the year, and I still feel that way. So barring a super strong showing from, like, Bruce, Dawes, or Stapleton, she’s got this in the bag for me. What are your other contenders?

I do wonder if this album would have gotten a little more attention if it hadn’t released so close to the start of the pandemic. It’s just odd to me that I’ve seen virtually no coverage for it anywhere.

 

I mean my mom posted it’s always been you on Facebook.

 

Yeah I really hope she gets the exposure she deserves. She has one of the best voices in music right now. If not THE best.

Couldn't even really rank them right now but this is the stuff I really love from this year.

Fleet Foxes - Shore
Katie Pruitt - Expectations
Jason Isbell - Reunions
Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher
Hum - Inlet
Taylor Swift - folklore
Perfume Genius - Set My Heart On Fire Immediately
Fiona Apple - Fetch The Bolt Cutters
Gordi - Our Two Skins
Owen - The Avalanche

Probably forgetting some and Two big releases coming for me tomorrow that could possibly in that discussion. Not as much stuff I really LOVE so far compared to last year.

 

The end of "It's Always Been You" is still one of the best things I've ever heard in my life.

 

Yeah, her voice just sells it right away. I can't imagine it wouldn't for most people, honestly.

I need to spend more time with that Fleet Foxes record. Wasn't feeling it the first few times through, but I also was not in the right mood for it.

I've been so much more enthusiastic about new music this year than I was last year. I think maybe 3-4 of my top 10 last year would make the top 10 I have right now.

 

Yeah, granted I haven’t listened to a ton of new releases this year, but this is the 2020 album I’ve been coming back to the most. I love it, thanks Craig!

Also, I reconnected with a guy from my college a cappella group after Katie reposted his cover of “Expectations” on her Instagram story. So that was pretty cool lol

 

New song by Donovan Woods and Katie. Definitely a stylistic throw back and really a pretty song.

 

This is so good. Praying for another Donovan Woods LP soon.

 

New Donovan LP is coming in November!

 

Great news.

 

Donovan Woods Details New Album 'Without People'

 

Ahh okay, awesome.

I wasn't crazy about any of the singles that will be on the new album at first but I've come to love all of them. Especially "Grew Apart".

 

This new song is really great

 

This is a really nice list.

 

Great song. There's not that many white musicians making protest music that feels vital. Top of my mind is Jason Isbell, Eric Church, that one Tyler Childers tune... you've got to come at it from a different direction as a songwriter and communicator, and the way she's able to do it on here is really impressive.

 

Realized I missed Waxahatchee and Ruston Kelly. Love those a lot too.

 

I go back to this pretty much once a week. Definitely an AOTY contender for me

 

Check out the Ken Yates album if you haven't yet!

 

Thanks for reminding me of this. Listened a couple times daily the first couple weeks it was out and completely forgot about it. It’s hitting the spot right now and definitely one of my favs this year.
