True North

True North

Over the last several years, Caroline Spence has quietly become one of Nashville’s finest singer-songwriters, specializing in precise, vivid lyrics on projects like 2017’s Spades & Roses and 2019’s Mint Condition. On True North, Spence turns her powers of observation to both heady and human topics, like poetry (“Mary Oliver,” named for the beloved late poet), growing pains (the sneakily cathartic “Clean Getaway”), and grief (the powerfully relatable “The Gift”). Spence and producer Jordan Lehning craft arrangements that are at once intricate and spacious, giving her often narrative lyrics room to breathe while offering lush backdrops for her gleaming vocals.
