Produced by Rebecca Martin and recorded in Portugal by Mário Barreiros, SHE features 13 original songs that blend voice and acoustic guitar to create a minimalistic yet powerful sound with deep emotional resonance. Exploring themes of identity, transformation, and the passage of time, the album fosters a reflective, meditative space that invites listeners to fully immerse themselves in its introspective atmosphere.

The album opens with a reimagined version of “Play for Me,” a track from her 2004 LP People Behave Like Ballads, setting the tone for an introspective journey. Martin’s intuitively composed guitar parts and layered vocals weave a tapestry of sound throughout, with each song acting as a unique tone poem. On “Just Another Heartbreak,” her harmonies offer a tender meditation on violence and empathy, while “The Crass Are Cradled Too” expresses a heartfelt search for common ground in polarized times. The album closes with “East Andover,” a wistful reflection on her Maine hometown.

Martin’s commitment to creating space within her music is evident, from the sparse orchestration to the stillness that permeates the album. As she shares, “‘She’ is a guide to making sense of the world without limits through poems and sound.” With its subtlety and emotional depth, SHE provides a richly immersive experience, drawing listeners into a contemplative state.
