By the way, I forgive you

"Carlile's sixth LP is a move toward her prestige era, a moment when she's expected to reconcile the warring parts of herself for a growing audience ... The album's a tad awkward, like many projects steeped in the mild tea of sincerity, but By the Way, I Forgive You is the necessary next step in a shrewdly managed career. Brandi Carlile requires no forgiveness from us".

"By the Way I Forgive You represents a return of sorts for Brandi Carlile, finding the singer/songwriter shifting away from the ramshackle mess of 2015's The Firewatcher's Daughter and toward the kind of grandiose emotional bloodletting she pioneered on her 2007 album, The Story ... By the Way I Forgive You is a different beast than its predecessor, a record with more texture, shade, and ambiguity: it is clearly the work of a maturing artist and it's all the richer for it".

"Med produceren David Cobb som Nashvilles bedste guide til nye stier gennem traditionerne har Carlile skabt et musikalsk rum mellem country og folk, hvor akustisk intimitet møder orkesterets svulmende følelser. Heri folder Carlile sine historiefortællende sange om marginaliserede skæbner ud med en ekspressiv sangstemme og livsvisdommens lange lys tændt. Man forstår godt, at folk sætter Carlile højt, når først de har lært hende at kende".
