A couple months ago, Courtney Marie Andrews returned with “Cons And Clowns,” her first new material since the 2022 album Loose Future. Now the Nashville-based, Phoenix-born singer-songwriter is announcing its follow-up, Valentine, arriving early next year. The second single "Keeper" is out today.
“One night over dinner I asked my friend Kate if I was a keeper,” Andrews explains. “This question prompted a heartbreaking conversation followed by writing an entire song over a bowl of pasta. Our ultimate landing was that everyone is a keeper if they’re truly in love.”
Valentine was recorded to tape at Valentine Recording Studios in Los Angeles with co-producer Jerry Bernhardt (Ron Gallo, Yola) on 12-string acoustic guitar, bass, Juno 60, and mellotron, along with Grizzly Bear's Chris Bear on drums. Valentine is "a record in pursuit of love," Andrews says. "But love, it turns out, is a lot more than I gave it credit for."
