Kasey Chambers: “Bittersweet”

Bittersweet

Kasey Chambers released her new album, Bittersweet (2015). The album, produced by Nick DiDia, features a range of styles, including rockers and alt-country, that touch on various topics, including love and spiritual themes. Allmusic finds the songs “unpretentiously intelligent” while dealing “with matters of the heart and soul with unrelenting honesty.”

On the title track, the Australian singer-songwriter is joined by Bernard Fanning (former lead singer of the Australian rock band Powderfinger) in a duet about love and regret: “And I could list a thousand things / That’d make me take you back again / But I don’t really need you half as much / As I did then.” The video highlights the poignancy of new love evolving into long-term heartbreak by beginning with two young people in the role of Chambers and Fanning. Check out the official video for “Bittersweet.”
