Sorry is gone

"Romantic breakups have fueled many, perhaps too many, singer-songwriter tunes and albums. But on Sorry is Gone, Jessica Mayfield's first solo album in three years, she describes, often in gritty, extremely personal detail, the effects of finally extricating herself from an abusive marriage ... The backstory leading to Sorry is Gone may not be the type you'd wish on anyone, but in the hands of Jessica Lea Mayfield, it has resulted in compelling art".

"On her latest, Sorry Is Gone, Jessica Lea Mayfield creates a manifesto for living apology-free. Its title track is a mantra for those who are simply over saying the "S" word, which is important, especially for women in a society that expects us to say it too often ... Sorry is, with any luck, just a preview of her trailblazing to come. Her epiphany only proves more true as she adds, "I realized I'm the only person that is going to look out for me. I have to be my main person. No one else."".

"Jessica Lea Mayfield's fourth solo LP, Sorry Is Gone, continues a career push-and-pull between soft-spoken country-rock and more assertive, riff-fueled indie rock. While her debut featured more of the former and her third solo album, 2014's Make My Head Sing..., embraced the latter, on Sorry Is Gone she takes her foot off the gas just a little and finds a zone where heartache and empowerment both sit comfortably ... Without wishing her the same kind of personal inspiration in the future, it's Mayfield's most compelling work yet".
