Adele Lassiter’s debut EP, American Nomad, is a masterful blend of Americana, folk rock, and country that takes listeners on a journey across the diverse landscapes of the United States. Drawing from her experiences living in Yellowstone and the Blue Ridge Parkway, Lassiter has crafted an EP that feels like a series of musical postcards from the road.
The EP opens with the lively “Good Kind of Reckless,” a track that sets the tone with its infectious energy and toe-tapping rhythm. It’s the perfect anthem for anyone who has ever felt the thrill of embracing the unknown. This is followed by “Rendezvous Heart,” a travel-inspired anthem that combines bluegrass and Americana influences, evoking the spirit of adventure that runs through the entire project.
Lassiter’s storytelling prowess shines brightest in “Population One,” a deeply personal track that explores themes of solitude and faith, inspired by her time in the wilderness of Yellowstone. The EP continues with “Ten Sleep,” a vivid portrayal of a traveler’s encounter with the small town of the same name in Wyoming, encapsulating the raw beauty of the American West.
The final track, “Midnight West,” wraps up the EP with a nostalgic nod to classic country romance, painting a picture of young love under the vast Wyoming sky. Produced by Beaird Music Group in Nashville, the EP’s production is polished yet intimate, allowing Lassiter’s evocative lyrics and warm vocals to take center stage.
American Nomad is a stunning debut that not only showcases Lassiter’s versatility as a songwriter but also her ability to connect with listeners through universal themes of exploration, love, and self-discovery. This EP is a promising start for Lassiter, and it leaves us eager to see where her musical journey will take her next.
