Description:
How to Say Sorry and Other Lessons is Fawn’s third album, and the first composed entirely of original material. Co-written with pianist/composer/life-partner David Restivo, the music encompasses swing, funk, pop, gospel, and even a touch of reggae.
Created in the tumultuous time surrounding the end of Fawn’s 13-year marriage, the songs examine classic themes as well as feminist issues: heartbreak, consent, gender roles, infidelity, shame, humility, and redemption.
A thrilling emotional ride that leaves listeners both thoughtful and joyful.
