Song You Need: Kari Faux’s bottom-of-the-bottle realness

The FADER’s “Songs You Need” are the tracks we can’t stop playing. Check back every day for new music and follow along on our Spotify playlist.
Sources vary, but the phrase “A drunk mind speaks a sober heart” has been traced as far back as French enlightenment thinker Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Leave it to Kari Faux then, to update his words for the here and now of young Black womanhood.

Produced by Phoelix, the song’s meandering, psychedelic groove is the perfect foil to Faux’s wasted reflections. The “DRUNK WORDS” in question are a shields-down look into Faux’s headspace.
“I need the space to be soft / Peel my armor off,” she sings — sometimes asking to be vulnerable is the most vulnerable thing. Just when it seems like Faux is on the verge of a breakthrough, the song cuts out, and an automated voicemail message (”The caller you have reached is currently emotionally unavailable”) carries us into the morning after: “They ask me how I feel but I don’t have shit to say.” Until the next bender, that is.

Song You Need: Faye Webster, the commitment-phobe
Faye Webster works best in grayscale. While her music is vibrant, the relationships and emotions that populate her songs are never clearly defined in black or white. She’s penned paeans to hanging out with people you like but don’t like that much, and opened her breakout record running neither hot nor cold, but “Room Temperature.” Her fantastic new single “But Not Kiss is damn near ecstatic in that ambiguity, but it’s not a song about indecision.
