Caroline Kingsbury and I go far back, almost three years ago now we started to follow each other’s careers and I can’t express in words how much I gasped waking up one random morning earlier this year, finding out her banger of a song Kissing Someone Else got a lot of attention overnight. Heaven’s Just A Flight, her debut album from 2020, helped me through my first heartbreak and that way actually became my most streamed album on Spotify ever with 1,145 scrobbles, according to my last.fm statistics, and it sounds about right.
In this episode, we go in depth of the lyrics of the songs off her newly-released EP I Really Don’t Care!, as well as her debut album. We discuss the past year that changed her career after almost giving up and how grief is the touchstone in her songwriting and it always is there, even when writing on love.
