Annie Capps – How Can I Say This CD (2022)

“Like many performing artists, the forced isolation of the pandemic provided the opportunity for reflection and a bit of soul-searching. I am blessed with a mighty batch of songwriting angels who encourage and inspire me to write in a more deliberate way rather than waiting for the muse, who was often very coy with me.

The songs that started bubbling up found me excavating in the way back times of my life. They represent a reckoning of sorts, a closer look into painful memories that didn’t feel safe to explore.

I am constantly reminded that vulnerability is a super-power. Vulnerability is the dominant theme running through the album. The songs explore topics of shame, learning, forgiveness, grief, self-discovery, and strength. Collectively, they represent a love letter to my younger self. And maybe yours too? I truly hope with all my heart that you’ll hear yourself in one or many of these songs.

These songs showed up right when they were supposed to and I couldn’t be more proud of the way they’ve come to life, thanks to an extraordinary community of nearly 40 women who joined me on this journey.”
