Stephanie Lambring wrote one of the most honest albums released last year. Autonomy is nothing short of a coming-of-age piece, of finding one's voice and then being able to turn an eye toward others who must rely on someone else for help. In short, it's a thematic tour de force.
On this episode of World Cafe, we explore her songs about aging, being bullied, and her desire to write for herself after walking away from a Nashville publishing deal. I know what you're thinking: These all sound like heavy topics. But Lambring was open and unguarded during our conversation, and the result is a delightful listen.
