Love Addict
Self-Released, 2025
9/10
The Nashville artist Caitlin Cannon returns with her unique brand of ‘cosmicana”, where her bold lyrics are surrounded by plenty of diverse sounds.
The title track leads with some psychedelia amid the thumping drums and Cannon’s distinct voice that suits the alt-country nods, and “I Wouldn’t Say I Love You” follows with graceful strings and intimate singing that’s heartfelt.
Occupying the middle spot is the dreamy “Let It Hurt Some”, where soft instrumentation complements the eloquent vocals, while “Dr. Dealer” is a fuller moment of bright horns and a scrappy rhythm section that’s full of glorious melodies you could dance to.
Landing close to the end, “My Own Company” touches on classic country ideas and emits much beauty alongside subtle twang, and “Waiting” exits with just Cannon’s breathy pipes and gentle acoustic guitar, which showcases folk friendly songwriting via a stirring presence.
Cannon’s vision is both rowdy and delicate, and this live recording brings grit and grooves to relatable and really memorable stories.
