Description
Chicago’s Kara Jackson was America’s National Youth Poet Laureate from 2019-2020 and ‘Why Does the Earth Give Us People to Love?’ is a debut album that wears its heart on its acoustic sleeve. Minimal guitar work complements an understated production that helps elevate the young singer songwriter’s already poignant words and delivery to dizzying heights. Heartbreak and grief are explored and Jackson ties the way we deal with both to modern day capitalism. Influences include Joni Mitchell & Nina Simone.
