EMILY BARKER – FRAGILE AS HUMANS – ALBUM REVIEW
Through various guises and projects, the sublime musical talents of Emily Barker have been well established. Her career has taken her through Americana, Country and Folk, but each record has been indelibly identifiable as the work of Barker.
New album, ‘Fragile as Humans’ finds Barker in reflective mood, both looking inwards at her own life and diving into the wider human condition. This naturally makes this album emerge as one of the most personal releases yet from an artist who has always been able to craft their innermost thoughts into deep and beautiful lyrics.

However, despite the themes of the record tackling raw emotions such as sadness, loss, sorrow and loneliness, it’s important to note the glimmers of hopefulness that weave their way through this collection of delicate and majestic ballads.
Barker has worked with the talented Luke Potashnick on this album, and the producer helps to elevate the musical side of the album to dizzying heights of intricacy and elegance. From opener ‘With Small We Start’ to finale ‘Acisoma’, this is a truly exquisite record that is deserving of your time and affection.
