"This is big, blousy, country pop that buffs its pedal steel to a chrome gleam, offsets snappy production with misty-eyed longing, and doesn't ever quite feel complete until it's soundtracking a big-city movie full of promise and power-walking. It's a sound full of nostalgia and with it a built-in sense of comfort".

"With 2022's immediately iconic Lady for Sale, Lola Kirke completes her transformation from buzzed-about film and TV darling to charismatic country-pop chanteuse. The album follows her engaging 2018 debut, Heart Head West, which showcased her dusky and noirish singer/songwriter brand of indie country-rock. Working with instrumentalist/producer Austin Jenkins (White Denim, Leon Bridges), Kirke raises the bar on Lady for Sale, crafting empowered, retro-leaning songs that feel like the kind of polished country-pop artists like Dolly Parton and Juice Newton excelled at in the 1980s".
