    A set of lush and moody ballads boasting ripe wisdom. [Oct 2025, p.31]

    She’s created an album that feels genuinely of its moment—speaking to current anxieties while drawing on accumulated wisdom. It’s the work of an artist who has learned that breaking doesn’t necessarily mean ending, that damage can coexist with hope.

    The album’s understated title track is reminiscent of turn-of-the-century radio pop like Dido’s “Thank You,” and the creak of upright bass, quiet patter of drum brushes, and intermittent whoosh of synths on the lushly atmospheric “Long Road Home” evoke Marchand’s textured soundscapes. But too much of Better Broken is straightforward and heavy-eyed.
