It's her first album of original material in 13 years and it's FVCKING brilliant! Has anyone else given it a listen? One of my favorite tracks is "Go Down Moses" but there isn't a video for that online so here's the album opener.

THANK YOU so much for posting this! I had no idea she had a new album out!!!!
Everyone is aware that "Sutton Ross" used to go by "Sue Storm". Right?

Did she have to? Is this going to be the constant grocery store music in 15 years?
It's a little creepy but it would be worse if you knew what you were talking about.

Awwww, Namo. I love her so much! "Ophelia" is one of my all-time favorite albums.

There just seems to be one of three of her songs on whenever I step into a Hannaford's type of grocery store anywhere in the country. She wants to thank you even though it's just too late.

She'll never be able to top her "Ophelia" album; that album was brilliant. I enjoy her new album. I haven't fallen in love with it ... yet.

You're welcome, Jordan. I had no clue she had a new album out either and Ophelia is one of my all-time favorites as well.

Namo, there is no mention of thanking you even though it's too late in "Kind & Generous." Good try though.

I like it.

I agree it's no Ophelia, but that album is one of my faves.
