The slow, cinematic build for “Billionaire”, the title track for the recent release from Kathleen Edwards, perfectly mirrors her words. Side-stepping music for a minute, Kathleen Edwards ran a coffee shop, and the tale of Amanda, an optimistic, well-loved customer, was the muse for a story that speaks of the small gifts that are often unspoken, the moments that generate a comfortable feeling subtly felt in small, personal smiles. Of the song, Kathleen Edwards stated that ‘there isn’t a day that goes by and I don’t think the world is a little less bright because of her leaving us. The kind of person who lived the most enthusiastically and authentically, the kind of person who made others feel special in her company. Losing her isn’t just our loss, it’s the loss of everyone who never got to meet her and be changed by her magical light’ adding ‘what sense could there possibly be in losing someone so special if not to live every day honoring her memory by living life as well as she deserved’,
 
Produced by Jason Isbell and Gena Johnson, Billionaire offers a shout out to “FLA” over a fast-track beat, consoles decisions that shine a spotlight on our actions with “When the Truth Comes Out”, sinks into past memories for “Little Pink Door”, and rides a guitar jangle when speaking of playing in “Other People’s Bands”. Whether the love topics that run through the album are one-on-one messages or thoughts and wishes cast out for a worldwide humanity, Kathleen Edwards digs deep into the emotions that bubble inside the psyche of men and women. She is a clear-eyed observer. A writer who uses her pen to sketch life with vivid imagery. The wild call of youth is the topic in “Little Red Ranger” while Billionaire tries to balance the human condition in “Say Goodbye, Tell No One”, and focuses on our need to choose a side with “Need a Rise”. Kathleen Edwards offers sage advice for “Save Your Soul” as she exits the album brings reality to the fantasies in our minds with “Pine”. (by Danny McCloskey)
