Broken hearts and uncomfortable truths tell the story in Bella White’s unsettling A Sign in the Weather. The powerful third album from the Calgary-bred, New Orleans-based singer examines fatally-flawed relationships with brutal honesty, taking no prisoners. Rejecting sunny outcomes, her unsparing insights ensure memorable listening.
Co-producing with Ross Farbe (Esther Rose) and writing all the songs, White pivots from the polished, bluegrass-tinged country of 2023’s Among Other Things to embrace a rawer acoustic sound that lets her aching voice do the heavy lifting, with electrifying results. The album features some fine players, including Nikolai Shveitser (pedal steel) and Patrick M’Gonigle (fiddle), but they mostly hang back, occasionally adding lovely fills.
