I had never heard of who Faye Webster was until mid-2020 when a friend from high school recommended me her breakout album, Atlanta Millionaires Club. Admittedly, I was initially Indifferent with the album, with one exception, which I’ll get to, but for the following weeks, I’d notice I couldn’t get the album out of my mind. Faye’s soft-spoken quality as a singer is not whispering the melody into your ear but speaking it to you. . However, there’s always a sense of tune to how she delivers her lyrics, never at the expense of the intimacy of the track or the sense it's a conversation directed at you, but she’s the only one saying all that needs to be said. This, paired with her repetitive songwriting, creates an earworm effect. I’d come to realize that this repetition isn’t a slight against her, but the answer to why her songs work in the first place. There’s nothing more you need to understand a sense of longing, than using and repeating the phrase “The right side of my neck still smells like you” or one of my favorites, “How did I fall in love with someone I don’t know.”
