Beth Hart on her journey to happiness: 'Better than home' When Beth Hart calls her new album 'Better than home', the question immediately arises what she means. Where's the place that's better than home, than home? The answer is ten new songs she wrote herself. It's about climbing out of the hole again and again, not hiding and living loud and confident. In short: Beth Hart's prescription is to take life as it is, embrace it and enjoy every day. The individual songs on "Better Than Home" may sound introspective and melancholic - but as a whole, they are a testament to the power of Beth Hart. In English, they say "Fake it till you make it". For Beth, it's a credo. For example, she wrote the song "Might As Well Smile" during her depression (she suffers from bipolar disorder). The song made her laugh and gradually directed her thoughts to the positive aspects of everyday life. Through writing and singing about an attitude of gratitude, she eventually felt real gratitude for her life and figured out how to help herself. In "Saint Teresa," she goes even further. The song is about selfless charity and unconditional love. This is only felt by those who do not judge or condemn themselves or other people. In this way, an individual can grow beyond himself. "As Long As I Have a Song" closes the album for good reason. Here the singer-songwriter writes about writer's block, which is an existential threat to her: If she could no longer write, she would lack the ability to help herself. Finding beauty in life means a lot of work and leaving. Beth Hart left her past and her home to find true home in herself and her strength. In the lyrics of Better Than Home, Beth Hart traces her journey to find the beauty in life. She sets her lyrics to music in a variety of ways: soul, blues, more rock than before, and ballads. Her voice delivers it all as a matter of course. Beth Hart presents the very personal album "Better Than Home". The content and the music come together in an exceptional whole: typical of Beth Hart, yet very special. Review: "Whether it's rock with brass and Memphis soul, or heartfelt ballads, this album shows why guitarists like Jeff Beck, Joe Bonamassa and Buddy Guy love recording with Beth Hart." (Stereo, May 2015) "In a superb dramaturgy, each of the eleven tracks on 'Better Than Home' unfolds into a climactic moment. Guy manages to scream his vocal potential and sound as powerful as Aretha Franklin, and then again as desperate as Janis Joplin." (Stereo Play, May 2015) "Her voice is always a pleasure: smoky, powerful, but never rough, always sure and controlled." (Audio, June 2015)
